Coastal Towns

Rough Guides latest top 30 "Best Seaside Towns" features 6 stunning Scottish Coastal locations.
Portree, Stromness, Plockton/Ross/Cromarty, Gardenstown and then the next two are very interesting for me. My hometown Pittenweem and Lochinver. My mum's uncle and Auntie moved from Pittenweem to Lochinver and were often between the two so great to have associations with both.
For me, Plockton is a an absolute gem of a location and had a wonderful meal at Plockton shores a while back.

Pittenweem is gorgeous. I love the Fife coastal towns. Plockton is stunning too. Such a lovely spot and the palm trees are so pretty.
I'll need to fit this in when I visit Fife. I was supposed to be visiting on Saturday, but I had to postpone

Don't forget to visit The Cocoa Tree on the high street

I think Portpatrick in Dumfries & Galloway is another great little harbour town. I love the walk along dramatic coastline to Dunskey Castle. One of my favourite ruins.
I should add Nairn too as it's my hubby's hometown and they've given this Lowland Scot honorary Highlander status. The beach and harbour area are very pretty. It's also a great base for exploring Clava Cairns, Fort George and Culloden plus further afield.
I love coastal towns and we have a choice of so many wonderful ones here in Scotland.
The Smiddy in the village is definitely worth a visit for lunch if you have the dogs. Only in fair weather though as they're not allowed inside. In winter we'll normally eat at the Clubhouse in Gullane instead. @DMWScotland @ElaineR
