Gardenstown is a compact, colorful fishing village on the Moray Firth—charming harbor, rows of painted cottages on steep streets, rocky foreshore and sea stacks. Photograph pastel houses reflected in wet cobbles, fishing boats and nets, dramatic Atlantic light at sunrise/sunset, and stormy waves in winter. Narrow roads and limited parking near the harbour; best visits at sunrise or late golden hour for soft side-light and long shadows. Quiet village etiquette—be respectful of residents. No entry
