About Buckpool

Buckpool is a coastal village in Moray, Scotland, which has merged with the nearby town of Buckie over time. Originally called Nether Buckie, it features Buckpool Harbour, constructed in 1857 by Sir Robert Gordon of Cluny, though it fell out of use due to silting issues, leading fishermen to relocate to the larger Cluny Harbour by 1877. Today, the former harbour site has been transformed into a park, marking the start and end of the Speyside Way walking route, making it a point of interest for those considering planning applications in the area.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Buckpool area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (September 2026). This makes Buckpool a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
