The fishing village of Pennan is located on the northern coast of Aberdeenshire, on Pennan Bay, 2 miles (3 km) southeast of Troup Head. This picturesque village was the setting for Bill Forsyth's film Local Hero which starred amongst others Fulton Mackay and Dennis Lawson, and as such has become a popular tourist stop. The Great North Sea Flood of 1953 damaged properties and the harbour.
