Portsoy Harbour (also known as Portsoy's Old Harbour) is a harbour in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Situated immediately to the north of Portsoy's village centre and a few yards west of Links Bay, the harbour was established in 1692. It is now a Category A listed structure.[1]
The harbour is accessed from the village centre by either High Street or Low Street, or from Links Bay via Shore Street. North High Street enters the harbour at Shorehead; Low Street at Shore Street. Both run along the southern edge of the harbour. Shore Street and Shorehead merge at Low Street.
A more modern, smaller harbour is located in the northeastern corner of the promontory. It is known as Portsoy New Harbour.
