Sandend
Sandend (Template:Lang-sco)[1] is a small fishing village near Banff and Portsoy, Scotland, typical of the area.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was an active village.[clarification needed] There were two fish-houses[clarification needed] in Sandend (Smith's and McKay's). After McKay's relocation to Buckie, only Smith's remains in Sandend.
It now is a popular place for caravaners, holidaymakers and watersports enthusiasts. Local attractions include a sandy beach and an annual kipper barbecue, held in summer.
In January 2018, locals opposed plans for a wind farm, the Moray West Offshore Windfarm, that would have affected the beach. In July 2018 the wind farm was moved further up the coast.[1][2]
It is home to the Glenglassaugh distillery.[3]
