Collieston
A coastal village that defies time. It hugs the cliffs, contours of history entwined with the sweet northerly wind of a new day. All time, no time, all the tomorrows defying their end. A sky that kisses the land with a promise of forever, shining in the blank windows of houses that will not forget.
Between Newburgh and Cruden Bay, Collieston is a unique north east Scotland village, a mixture of permanent and holiday residences. Charm is an understatement. The cliffs jut in to the sea as they have done for centuries, and the houses cling to the land as if they may be swept away.
The air is salty and fresh, the sea sighing like a haunted heart. The view is magnificent, a song of wild nature hand in hand with village monotony, a painting by a visionary, a portrait of poetry in stone and sand. The former fishing village emanates a magic that melts in your stomach, food for the soul. In one word: enchanting.
