IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Police Lane, BUCKIE, AB56 1RG

I am told that this Gospel Hall is Brethren. (Open Brethren not the Exclusive or Close Brethren). Brethren do not self-identify as a denomination which is why they would not use a label of themselves. I have note been able to find out when it was built, or by whom. It is on the north side of West Church Street. See http://www.scottishchurches.org.uk/sites/site/id/3106/name/Gospel+Hall%2C+Buckie+Buckie+Grampian

This was for a time Buckie's one and only Tandoori restaurant, but it has been a Chinese for many years now.

Sometimes, and inaccurately, referred to as a cathedral, this is the main Roman Catholic church in the parish of Rathven. St Gregory's at Preshome and St Ninian's at Tynet are served from here. The church was built in 1851-7 to a design by Bishop James Kyle and Alexander and William Reid. In 1907 the chancel, altar and baptistry were altered by Charles Jean Ménart.

The 1902 25-inch Ordnance Survey map marks this little church as a Baptist chapel. It was superseded by Image] in 1912. It is now one of only two Church of Christ churches in Scotland, the other being just a few miles away in Portknockie.

Despite its vaguely ecclesiastical look, this was originally Buckie Public School. It was built by Rathven School Board after the 1872 Education (Scotland) Act made education from the age of 5 to 13 compulsory and free. Over the next century the school expanded to take in older children and pupils from surrounding areas, then contracted as it was replaced by new buildings, leaving only a few subjects still being taught in the old one. In 1983 it finally became surplus to edcuational requirements and has been converted into flats.

This is Buckie's Roman Catholic church, built in 1857.

This bridge formed part of the former railway line between Portgordon and Buckie.The top was removed to facilitate the access to the poultry plant by high sided vehicles.
