About Pennan

Pennan perches dramatically on Scotland's northeast coast where sheer cliffs plunge into the North Sea. This tiny Aberdeenshire fishing village, famous as the filming location for "Local Hero," is reached via the B9031 from the A98 coastal route. The final approach involves a steep, narrow descent down the cliff face that requires careful driving, particularly in the frequent coastal winds and winter storms that batter this exposed stretch of coastline.
