High Shore Playground

Right on the edge of Macduff with the Moray Firth stretching out in front of you, this is one of those spots locals quietly love. The sea views are the real draw — genuinely hard to beat while you’re watching the kids run about. There’s a decent open grass field for letting off steam, and the whole place has a relaxed, unhurried feel that’s rare to find. Honestly, on a clear day it’s worth the visit even if you don’t have children in tow.
