| BANFF IS SITUATED ON THE NE COAST OF SCOTLAND,WITH OPEN SEA TO THE NORTH,EAST AND WEST SO THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEWHERE TO SAIL TO NO MATTER THE WEATHER.
TO THE FAR WEST OF THE MORAY FIRTH WE HAVE INVERNESS WITH ACCESS TO THE WONDERFUL CALEDONIAN CANAL,WHICH TAKES YOU FROM EAST TO WEST COAST WHERE THE MANY LOCHS AND SHELTERED ANCHORAGES WILL TEMPT YOU TO STAY FOR A WHILE. ON PASSAGE THROUGH THE CANAL YOU CAN STOP OFF AT THE MOORINGS AVAILABLE AND ENJOY THE SCENERY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMMERCIAL AND SMALL HARBOURS ALONG THE COAST WHICH WELCOME VISITING YACHTS BUT SOME OF THEM ARE TIDAL AND SO DRY OUT. THERE ARE RELATIVELY NEW MARINA DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS AT INVERNESS, WHITEHILLS,LOSSIEMOUTH (HALFWAY BETWEEN BANFF AND THE CALEDONIAN CANAL) AND ON THE EAST COAST AT THE BUSY PORT OF PETERHEAD ALL OF WHICH WELCOME VISITORS AND OF COURSE COME WITH THE USUAL MARINA FACILITIES (SHOWERS,WATER,ELECTRICITY ETC)
