High Street, Strichen
Established as a planned village in about 1764, Strichen is now an attractive small town with many interesting buildings. Standing in the middle of the High Street, mostly lined with former weavers' cottages, gives a fine view of the parish kirk.

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.

Town House, Strichen
The most impressive building in Strichen is surely the A-listed (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-16551-town-house-high-street-and-bridge-street-#.VxuVZ6T2amQ ) town house, designed by John Smith ca. 1816 in the style of a medieval tolbooth (combined council chamber, courthouse and jail): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolbooth .

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.
