That’s a wrap for season 2026 at the Salmon Bothy! We have had so many lovely visitors we can’t thank you enough for stopping by to have a chat and explore our wee museum.

We will be open again 2027 Easter weekend. If you would like a private tour between now and then please email us at:

[email protected] and we will make an appointment for you!

Special thanks must be given to our devoted group of volunteers who have turned up every single day since April to open the museum. It’s quite an achievement! We are so grateful that you give your precious time so willingly and help to support the town we all love. We couldn’t do this without your support, thank you all from the team at The Salmon Bothy 💙

Did you know a Pictish 7th - 8th century artefact was found by Mr. J.T. Crowden M.D. in Portsoy? Sometimes referred to as the Portsoy Whetstone, it is made from a hard black stone, phyllite, and forms an irregular cylinder 5-6 inches in length. The stone is engraved on both sides, a fish on one side and a complex arrangement on the other with two faces at either end chins facing inward with a fish, a cross, a crescent and horseshoe symbols lay in between the faces.

Residing in the British museum since 1921, it was last exhibited in Aberdeen in 2015. We hope to be able to display the Portsoy Whetstone in our museum one day.

One of the things we love most at the Bothy is working with wonderful people who give their time and skills so enthusiastically! We want to thank artist David Lloyd for creating this logo and our unique font!
