Town House
The Town house stands on the corner of Bridge Street and High Street, and dominates the centre of the town. This is the back of the building from one of the many lanes that link Water Street and High Street. The building was possibly designed by John Smith (1781-1852) and it is partly inspired by 16th century Scottish tolbooths.

White Horse Hotel
The hotel stands on the High Street, and offers all the usual services. Notice the stonework, which features large pale granite blocks interspersed with stacks of small dark blocks. This style of masonry is termed cherry-cocking, and is traditional in Buchan.

High Street
The view up the High Street of the planned town of Strichen leads the eye to the Gothic style Parish Kirk, originally the Free Kirk, and built in 1893-1894 to a design by Duncan McMillan (1840-1928). The white car has just turned right out of the lane on the left.
