Built on several levels on the hillside going down to the sea and harbour, Gardenstown (also known as Gamrie) offers superb sea views of Gamrie Bay. Originally a fishing town, it has an attractive harbour where nowadays you will find a cafe for refreshments.

The town is typical of many with its sprinkling of Brethren halls and churches. Ladies in hats, accompanied by men with a bible in hand, are still to be seen out and about on Sundays.
Brooms restaurant in Main Street provides good homemade meals and snacks in a small but comfortable restaurant that feels somewhat like the living room of a house. The service is friendly and personal. telephone: 01261 851629 for reservations.
