The villiage of Inverallochy can be found 2 miles East of Fraserburgh, in North East Scotland. It's origins can be traced back to the 1200's with well established fishing communities residing there by the 1500's. After an epidemic of cholera in the 1860's wiped out the "collections of huts next to which fishing boats were dragged out of reach of the tide". It was after this that plans were made to create Inverallochy and our twinned village Cairnbulg and St Combs, just a mile south.

The last recorded population for Invercairn (the name given by locals to their inseparable villages) was 1,197 in 2001 and it is most renouned for its 18-hole links golf course which looks out over the North Sea from every hole. Although it can be described as "short" at 5149 yards, it is considered a "challenge for any level of golfer" due to dependancy on the wind direction and strength.
