The 30th anniversary ACE Winches Scottish Traditional Boat Festival takes place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd July, as traditional sailing vessels drop anchor for a weekend of music and dance, Scottish food and drink, age-old crafts and unique handmade gifts.
The festival was first held in 1993 as a one-off to mark the 300th anniversary of Portsoy harbour – but has since become anchored in the town’s calendar, attracting 15,000 visitors from across the region and further afield every year.
Celtic rockers Skerryvore will kick-start the festival programme as they headline the Big Gig on the Back Green, on Friday 30th June. The band, which recently toured internationally, will perform tracks from the new album TEMPUS. This is a licensed event for over 18s only and tickets can be bought online at www.stbfportsoy.org
