Macduff Aquarium is a wee gem of a tourist attraction and one of the most favourite places to visit for the About Aberdeen team. Visitors can learn about the sea-life that lives in the North Sea and Moray Firth and upon the shores of Aberdeenshire.
There is free parking by the red marker buoy, toilets, disabled access and best of all: visitors get an all-day pass so can come and go to the exhibits in-between enjoying this beautiful harbour town.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Macduff marine aquarium has many living examples of the fish, fauna and sea-life that inhabit our area. Their tanks have plenty of viewing areas and it is a gentle stroll through the beautifully crafted exhibits.
By each tank is information boards to explain who the inhabitants are and there are talks by the experienced staff throughout the day. This includes watching them hand feed the fish and even seeing them scuba diving into the large tank which is a deep living kelp reef and the highlight of a visit.
Fish in the aquariums include conger eels, red mullet, cod, plaice and octopus. Sea-life includes blue lobster, sea anemones, jelly fish and starfish.

Below is a photograph of their Wolf Fish:
Models that demonstrate the mammals that live along our shores include a cute baby seal and an adult seal which are prevalent along the Aberdeenshire coastline.
Visitors learn that we can watch orca and blue whale from our shores. Birds information is also included which includes kittiwakes and cormorants. There is a live webcam to the cliffs at nearby Troup Head to watch the gannets. RSPB members can get free admission to Macduff marine aquarium on specific days.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

Sadly there is no onsite café, but there are vending machines for drinks and ice-cream is available from their shop. The receptionist has a list and map of places to eat in Macduff. We love to visit the Harbour View Restaurant for a tasty and filling bacon, egg and black pudding softie and hot chocolate.

This Macduff Aberdeenshire tourist attraction is child friendly and there is plenty to keep young minds entertained and educated. This ranges from quizzes, display boards, computer simulation, microscopes and games. Local schools use them as an interactive learning tool.
The photo below is their Moon Jellyfish:
Macduff Aquarium has an active shark and ray breeding programme and visitors can look round their nursery. We heard one youngster describe them as looking like a baby Lady Cassandra from Dr Who!
