‘Seas’ the day at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Traditional Boat Festival 2015 in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire on the north east coast of Scotland.
Festival go-ers across the country are weighing anchor and hoisting the sails as they set off for the 22nd Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Traditional Boat Festival on the north east coast of Scotland. Set in the picturesque village of Portsoy, the vibrant two-day festival celebrates Scotland’s maritime and cultural heritage by offering visitors the chance to experience an array of land and sea activities, as well as showcasing the best in crafts, food, drink, music and dance in the country.
Traditional wooden boats from all over the UK and beyond will flock to the historic 17th century harbour to take part in the festival. Visitors, expected in their thousands, will have the unique opportunity to try their hand at building and restoring traditional vessels, learning how to sail a coracle and watching the St Ayles Skiffs go head to head for the highly competitive open seas regatta.
The festival attracts more historic vessels, craft exhibitors, artists, performers and musicians than ever before, visitors will be involved, inspired and engaged throughout the two day event. From toe tapping folk music and unique handmade products, to Arbroath smokies, and seasonal treats; the celebration offers something for all the family.
