Georgian House
This house is just by the main road opposite the parish kirk. It is a little gem of Georgian style.

Finial at No 7
The finials on the gateposts at No 7 (the Georgian house) are carved with foliage. Sadly the soft stone is starting to weather on top, where it is more exposed.

Seafield Terrace, Portsoy, with parish church
"Until 1741 the inhabitants of Portsoy belonging to the established Church attended public worship at the Parish Church of Fordyce.
This was felt to be a serious inconvenience especially in winter, the distance being two miles and the roads far from good.
The first Presbyterian place of worship was opened in 1741... situated in the back street nearly opposite to the Burnside distillery. Then in 1746 a new church, which was abandoned in 1804. Funds were raised for the present church in 1815, which accommodates up to 700 souls.

Portsoy 2nd railway station (site), Aberdeenshire
Opened in 1884 by the Great North of Scotland Railway on the line from Tillynaught to Tochieneal, extended 2 years later to Elgin, this through station replaced an earlier 1859 terminus some 200m to the north. In turn, this station closed in 1968.
View south east along the former platform towards Tillynaught and ultimately, Aberdeen. A second platform for westbound trains had existed to the right of the image. The station building was in use as a scout hut when this image was taken.
