South and West Kirk
This kirk was originally a Free Kirk, built in 1849-1850 to a design by Alexander and William Reid of Elgin. It was altered in 1885. With the reunion of part of the Free Church with the Church of Scotland in 1929, it became Buckie South, and when the West Kirk closed in 1970 this was renamed Buckie South and West. See http://scottishchurches.org.uk/sites/site/id/7931/name/South+and+West+Church%2C+Buckie+Buckie+Grampian for more details.

Buckie HR railway station (site), Moray
Opened in 1844 by the Highland Railway on the branch from Keith Junction to Portessie, this station closed to passengers in 1915 and completely in 1944.
View north towards Portessie from approximately the track-bed. The single track and platform to the left of it, curved round to the right. The site is now in the middle of a housing estate but as it was started when the track was still there, its route can still be made out on a map.

Virginia Buildings
The upper floor has seven bays, a central oriel window with Ionic pillars on either side, and a pyramidal roof with ornamental cast iron. 'The Buildings of Scotland' says that it was built in 1897, but the 'Banffshire Advertiser' reported on 28 May 1908 that the improvements to the Virginia Buildings, High Street, owned by John Green, Draper, were to cost £2,000. This was to involve alterations to both front and rear elevations. The whole front was to come down being replaced with a two storey building surmounted by an ornamental tower at one end. Two modernised window shops and one single window shop were to occupy the ground floor and the second floor would be supported on 4 handsome polished freestone pillars. The contractors for the work were John Dawson, mason; William Hendry, carpenter; John Barclay and Son, plumbers; John Barclay, slater; R Hume, plasterer; James Duncan, painter; but the architect's name was not reported.
