About Us

Your Voice in the Community

In Scotland, community councils are voluntary organisations that represent the views of their local area to public authorities and local authorities. We are the first tier of statutory representation in Scotland.

As volunteers, our commitment is to do the best for our community. We meet regularly to discuss local issues, review planning applications, organise events, and ensure Buckie and its surrounding districts continue to thrive.
