Macduff Marine Aquarium

Macduff Marine Aquarium is one of the best visitor attractions in the North East of Scotland. You can plan your day out and learn about some of the wonderful sea life exhibited in the award-winning Aquarium.

 

Situated on Aberdeenshire’s scenic coast in the traditional fishing town of Macduff, Macduff Marine Aquarium features marine life from the Moray Firth, Scotland’s largest bay, in a variety of exciting and innovative exhibits. Visitors come face to face with hundreds of native fish and invertebrates normally only seen by scuba divers who brave the chilly waters of the North Sea.

 

The aquarium’s deep central exhibit, which displays a living kelp reef, is the only one of its kind in Britain and divers hand feed the fish on a regular basis.

 

Owned by Aberdeenshire Council, Macduff Marine Aquarium aims to promote awareness, enjoyment and stewardship of the Moray Firth marine environment in an entertaining and educational way.
