The Malt Whisky trail is only a drive away from By The Bay Bed & Breakfast where a wide choice of popular Speyside distilleries can be visited and product sampled and purchased.
Our aim is to fully accommodate our guest’s needs and we look forward to giving you a warm Scottish welcome when you visit By the Bay Bed & Breakfast.
Cruden Bay has a long history of attracting tourists and visitors. In the late 1800’s the The Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR) opened the Cruden Bay Hotel (see video below) at the time, a range of posters were designed to help promote the area, and in recent times a number have become familiar again as some of the wonderful vintage images have been reproduced as post cards, posters etc.
We have taken inspiration from the GNSR posters in the design of our website as well as in our own marketing posters. We hope you like our own updated versions shown in the gallery below. We sell prints of these posters in the coffee shop so you can always take a wee bit of Cruden Bay home with you.
By The Bay Bed & Breakfast are proud to be part of the latest group to promote the rich legacy which has promoted Cruden Bay as an established tourist destination for over 100 years.
We are also delighted to share more modern images of the area provided by local photographer Frigg Photography.

This is a great wee video featuring Cruden Bay made by Aberdeen Solicitor & Property Centre to promote the area to those thinking to move here. They made such a good job of it we thought you might like to see it.
