Buckpool

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the village in the English West Midlands, see Wordsley.

Buckpool is a village on the coast of Moray, Scotland. Originally known as Nether Buckie it is now effectively a part of the town of Buckie as the nearby fishing settlements merged as they expanded. Buckpool Harbour is now disused and is filled with stones, although Cluny Harbour at Buckie is nearby.

Buckpool Golf Club

Buckpool Golf Club's 18 hole links-style course was created in the 1930s. Part of the purpose of the project was to create jobs in a time of high unemployment, especially in the herring fishing industry.

Until 1960, Buckpool was served by a station on the Great North of Scotland line
