Macduff Marine Aquarium, Public aquarium in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Macduff Marine Aquarium showcases marine animals from the Moray Firth across different zones, including touch pools and underwater viewing areas. The exhibits focus on species living in these Scottish waters and give visitors insight into their natural environment.
The building underwent major expansion in the early 2000s to create more exhibition spaces and upgraded visitor facilities. This restructuring allowed the institution to house more animals and improve the overall visitor experience.
The facility helps visitors understand Scottish coastal marine life by showing animals and explaining their natural habitats. People come here to learn about these underwater ecosystems and their role in the region's identity.
During renovation work until October 2025, the facility organizes events at the Deveron Community and Sports Centre held every Tuesday. Visitors should check these regular sessions to learn about the region's marine diversity while the main building is being upgraded.
The facility houses the only deep kelp forest exhibit in the United Kingdom, representing the natural underwater environment of the Moray Firth. This rare creation shows visitors how these extreme habitats function.
