Cruden Bay Life

Connecting Community, Sharing Everything

Welcome to Cruden Bay Life – The Heart of Our Village Online

Cruden Bay is a scenic coastal village in northeast Scotland, home to around 1,900 people and around 80 community groups and businesses. These organisations enrich village life but often lack an online presence, limiting their ability to share services, attract members, and promote events.

This was highlighted in the Cruden Bay Community Action Plan 2025, and Cruden Bay Life is our solution: a central hub connecting residents, supporting groups and businesses, and strengthening our community. Phase one is to provide an online companion resource to the printed  Cruden Bay Directory, providing an individual webpage for each group or business to share their details and contact information. Social tools like Facebook and WhatsApp where used by groups, will help foster communication and growth.

We do appreciate that not all of the source information we have access to will be completely accurate so we would appreciate your help in rectifying anything that needs updating or removing, by using the form at the bottom of this page, or emailing together@crudenbay.life. Thanks in anticipation of your support in helping make sure the content is as accurate as possible.

Whether you’re a resident eager to get involved, a visitor exploring the area, or a group needing visibility, CrudenBay.Life is here to point you in the right direction.

Let’s build a more connected Cruden Bay – together.

How to get involved

New Resources

We’re excited to share the CrudenBay.Life Play List!

Each track has been specially created to bring our website and village to life — from melodies inspired by our dramatic coastline to ambient pieces that tell the stories of our landmarks. Every song also serves as a companion to a specific article within this website, directly linked to the places and stories that inspired them. You’ll find each track both in the playlist and embedded within its corresponding webpage.

To mark World Mental Health Day on 10 October 2025, Cruden Bay Life is proud to launch the Life Stones Project — a new initiative and website feature that explores simple, nature-based ways to support wellbeing in challenging times.

The Cruden Bay Life Stones Project

Inspired by the calming landscape of Cruden Bay, the project invites us to reconnect with the natural world and find stillness through the ancient practice of using a touchstone — a small, hand-held stone that reminds us to pause, breathe, and stay grounded. Each stone, shaped by sea and time, reflects the enduring rhythm of nature and the resilience within ourselves.

The Life Stones Project celebrates both personal reflection and community connection, encouraging moments of calm, compassion, and shared experience.
