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.

Bridge Street
As the signposts show, the main road goes left, leaving the town centre even quieter than it might otherwise be. The steeple belongs to the Town House. Mormond Hill, with a white horse carved into the quartz rock, is on the skyline. Not much has changed since Image] was taken in 2006.

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.

Strichen...
...as viewed from the Formartine and Buchan Way. Everything (including the rather crude looking dry-stone wall) in the village centre is granite.
