English: Strathlene is an area between Buckie and Findochty which has a caravan site facing onto the Moray Firth. At one time the Strathlene House Hotel, a former mansion, was a popular local venue with a pleasant beach leading directly off its lawn. There was also a large outdoor seawater swimming pool which was opened in 1932 situated next to the hotel on the shoreline. Strathlene used to be a popular place to visit for day tourists from the inland towns in the 1930s and 1940s, situated conveniently as it was a mere 300 yards below the Great North of Scotland Railway's Portessie Station and with connecting steps leading down virtually directly from the platform to the seaside.
