💙 It’s International Day of Charity 💙

Did you know that shopping or staying with us in Portsoy supports a charity too?

Portsoy Marble Shop and Holiday Cottages are operated by the North East Scotland Preservation Trust - NESPT and all profits are reinvested back into the charity.

So you’re helping to support the preservation of historic buildings and heritage right here in the North East of Scotland when you…

🛍️ Pick up a piece of Portsoy Marble, a crystal, gift or something locally made from the shop
🏡 Book a stay in one of our Holiday Cottages

And that includes some very special buildings in Portsoy. ❤️

The NESPT is currently working on plans to redevelop the historic buildings around Portsoy’s Old Harbour, giving them a new lease of life as a Creative Hub while protecting their character and heritage for future generations.

So every purchase and every stay really does contribute to something bigger in our local community.

A huge thank you to everyone who shops with us, stays with us, recommends us or simply follows and supports us. You’re helping us look after a little piece of North East Scotland’s history. 💙

🌊 We might be biased, but we reckon we’ve got a pretty spectacular stretch of coastline here in Portsoy!

From the wee beach beside the Old Harbour to the rocky shoreline along the Links Bay, coastal paths and views stretching out across the Moray Firth, there’s plenty to enjoy, whether you’re out for a walk, having a paddle, exploring the rocks or just sitting watching the waves. 🌊🏖️

We’re spoilt for choice further along the coast too, with beautiful beaches at Sandend, Cullen, Banff and beyond all within easy reach.

This National Beach Day, we’d love to know what your favourite local beach is. Tell us or share your favourite beach photo in the comments below. 👇

Wherever you’re enjoying the coast, please take your litter home and help keep our beaches and seas clean for everyone, including the wildlife that calls them home. 🐬🐚
