Findochty Water Sports Club will host the Five Harbours Row on 2 May 2026, with around 25 St Ayles Skiffs and 200 rowers travelling from Portsoy to Findochty via Sandend, Cullen and Portknockie.
Launching from 8.00am, spectators can enjoy a colourful coastal spectacle as boats pass through each harbour.
Now a highlight of Scotland’s coastal rowing calendar, the event also raises funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance

The Four Harbour Circular Walk is a 13.5-mile coastal route linking Buckie, Findochty, Portknockie and Cullen, typically completed in around 6 hours. Starting from One Marchmont, Buckie, walkers follow scenic harbour paths, cliffs and the old railway line, with checkpoints and guides throughout. Half-route options are available. Open to all abilities, the walk offers a chance to enjoy the Moray Firth coastline. Funds raised will support the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance, 1st Buckie BBs and Banff RYLA, with opportunities for other groups to raise funds for their chosen causes.
