About Collieston

The harbour village of Collieston, with its safe and picturesque beach, is situated on the north east coast of Scotland, some 20 miles to the north of Aberdeen in the parish of Slains. It was once a thriving fishing village with a lively history of smuggling and contraband.  

Nowadays the local population of around 200 people has a vibrant cosmopolitan mix who have all been attracted to the village's charm and unique setting.  Enjoying a safe sandy beach and other natural attractions, the village and its surrounding parish of Slains has a number of clubs and activities open to residents and visitors.

The internationally important Forvie National Nature Reserve (owned and managed by SNH) borders it to the south. 

East Grampian Coastal Partnership aims to assist communities in resolving coastal issues.

An interactive history of Collieston can be found on Collieston’s Century.
