Interesting facts about this location
Portknockie
Portknockie (Scottish Gaelic: Port Chnocaidh, the hilly port) is a coastal village on the Moray Firth in northeast Scotland, in Moray.

This would suggest that the port's name referred to not one, but two rocky hills at the hythe - the Port Hill and the Greencastle. ) Nearby towns include Banff, Buckie, Findochty and Cullen.
