Fraserburgh is a coastal town in Aberdeenshire where the sea is a main draw. The beach itself is well-rated by visitors, and the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses pulls in substantial numbers—over a thousand reviews at 4.6 stars—suggesting it is the kind of place people make a point to visit. There is also Willows Animal Sanctuary, rated 4.8 from 210 reviews, which indicates a genuine appeal beyond the obvious seaside attractions. Strikers at the leisure centre offers indoor activity if weather turns.
