The village has a long history of seafaring and trade, which dates back to the Vikings. The arrival of Ninian, Scotland's first missionary and saint, is thought to be the beginning of Scotland's Christian history The remains of the 13th century chapel can still be seen at the end of the harbour. Today the harbour is popular with visiting leisure sailors and with local boats fishing for crabs, lobsters and scallops.

    It was Christmas and the owner left us Christmas gifts, which was a lovely touch. Fantastic views both from and back. Would not hesitate to go again.
