Update Spring 2019

Written by Don Thomson 3 | 25th Apr 2019

You should contact the HM at Macduff to ascertain the state of play here before setting out with this in mind as a destination.

UPDATE Autumn 2018

The waiting buoy has been installed

UPDATE SPRING 2018

Written by Don Thomson | 6th Apr 2018

No changes but the waiting buoy has still not yet been installed. Price remains the same.

Update Spring 2016

Written by dononshytalk | 31st Mar 2016

These notes were reviewed by Don in March 2016. They have had a recent dredge here but are still quoting 4.5 hours either side of HW for visiting boats assuming of a draft of 1.5 metres. The waiting buoy is expected by the end of May. Those of you who enjoyed the Spindrift used book shop will be sad to hear that it closed.
