Welcome to Gourdon!
Sightseeing
The ancient fishing village of Gourdon is one of Aberdeenshire’s most attractive settlements with its 1820 working harbour and fascinating coastal walks.
An old coastguard building and one of the village’s biggest tourist attractions is Maggie Law Maritime Museum which can be found in the centre of Gourdon. This popular museum tells the survival story of Maggie Law (a lifeboat, not a person!), and recognises the importance of Aberdeenshire’s marine heritage.
This part of Aberdeenshire is also famous for its fish and chips and even has a traditional quayside shop selling the best of its seafood. You can also buy your fish fresh from the rustic filleting sheds by the Gourdon Harbour.

Neighbourhoods
Inverbervie located on the east coast of Scotland sits south of Stonehaven in the Aberdeenshire, just a short scenic walk from Gourdon. This town was previously a royal burgh and later became a parliamentary burgh. Inverbervie was also known as Bervie sitting on the beach behind the Bervie Bay, where River Bervie flows into the North Sea. Legend suggests that Inverbervie was a fishing settlement during 1341. The King David II with Queen Johanna once were forced to land north of Inverbervie due to bad weather when they were returning from France. With the royal treatment the King and Queen received from the village impressed David II and he granted it the status of a Royal Burgh.
