Lying between Portsoy and Banff, Whitehills it is a welcoming village where the 19th century Seatown remains largely unchanged with its cottages packed tightly together, their gable ends facing the sea for protection from storms. Historically fishing was the lifeblood of Whitehills although there was no proper harbour until 1900. Nonetheless, the village could boast over 150 boats through the later half of the 19th century and was the last place in Scotland where fishermen sold their own fish rather than dealing through a merchant. There is now a fully functioning Marina in place of the harbour. 19th century records show a prosperous village where the women dominated the men and were noted for their "superior comeliness".
