Things to do in Pennan, Aberdeenshire
Pennan is the Jewel of the Morayshire coast.
Its picturesque beauty and charm make it a favourite place for visitors from all over the U.K and all around the world.
The cliffs behind provide a dramatic backdrop to one of the prettiest Scottish Sea villages.
Pennan is fondly associated with the film 'Local Hero' starring Burt Lancaster which was filmed here in the 1980s and which still has the listed red telephone box used by Lancaster in the film.
Situated in an area of outstanding Natural Beauty, Pennan, is a serene place where little has changed for many years.
The village is at the base of imposing cliffs and although originally a fishing village where everyone, including the women and children, played a part in preparing nets and gutting the catch, it also became famous for the mining of sandstone from the surrounding cliffs, for wheels for grinding corn in wind and water mills around the highlands of Scotland.
The pub which was originally two fishermen's cottages now has a menu that would do credit to a five-star hotel.
The pub also provides accommodation.
