Fraserburgh is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies at the far northeast corner of Aberdeenshire, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Aberdeen, and 17 miles (27 km) north of Peterhead. It is the biggest shellfish port in Europe, landing over 12,000 tonnes in 2008, and is also a major white fish port and busy commercial harbour.

The name of the town means, literally, 'burgh of Fraser', after the Fraser family that bought the lands of Philorth in 1504 and thereafter brought about major improvement due to investment over the next century. Fraserburgh became a burgh of barony in 1546. By 1570, the Fraser family had built a castle (Fraserburgh Castle) at Kinnaird's Head and within a year the area church was built. By the 1590s the area known as Faithlie was developing a small harbour.

In 1592, Faithlie was renamed Fraserburgh by a charter of the Crown under King James VI. Sir Alexander Fraser was given permission to improve and govern the town as Lord Saltoun. At present this title is still in existence and is held by Flora Fraser, 20th Lady Saltoun and head of Clan Fraser. The Royal Charter also gave permission to build a college and university in Fraserburgh allowing the Lord Saltoun to appoint a rector, a principal, a sub-principal, and all the professors for teaching the different sciences.

A grant from the Scottish Parliament in 1595 allowed the first college building to be erected by Alexander Fraser, and in 1597 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland recommended the Rev. Charles Ferme, then minister at the Old Parish, to be its first (and only) principal.

In 1601, Fraserburgh became a burgh of regality. The college, however, closed only a decade or so after Ferme's arrest on the orders of James VI for taking part in the 1605 General Assembly, being used again only for a short time in 1647 when King's College, Aberdeen temporarily relocated owing to an outbreak of plague. A plaque commemorating its existence may be seen on the exterior wall of the remains of the Alexandra Hotel in College Bounds.

Fraserburgh thereafter remained relatively quiet until 1787 when Fraserburgh Castle was converted to Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, Scotland's first mainland lighthouse. In 1803, the original 1571 church building was replaced and enlarged to seat 1000 people. The Auld Kirk was to be the standing authority in the town up until the 1840s.

The town has several attractions including an award-winning sand beach, a major harbour, the lighthouse museum, heritage centre and a variety of amenities and facilities. It is home to the famous Kinnaird Head lighthouse/castle. Fraserburgh also has a variety of churches including; 3 Church of Scotland congregations (Old Parish, South Church and West Church), 4 Pentecostal churches (Elim Pentecostal, Assembly of God, Calvary Church and Emmanual Christian Fellowship), as well as Baptist, Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Congregational, Brethren and Bethesda Evangelical Church and the Salvation Army. Also the community war memorial by Alexander Carrick. The oldest church building in Fraserburgh is Fraserburgh Old Parish Church.

Peterhead is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is Aberdeenshire's biggest settlement, Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. It is often referred to as The Blue Toun (locally spelt as The Bloo Toon) and people who were born there as Blue Touners (locally spelt as Bloo Tooners). More correctly they are called blue mogginers (locally spelt as Bloomogganners), supposedly from the blue worsted moggins or stockings that the fishermen originally wore.

Peterhead was founded by fishermen and was developed as a planned settlement. In 1593 the construction of Peterhead's first harbour, Port Henry, encouraged the growth of Peterhead as a fishing port and established a base for trade. Peterhead was a Jacobite supporting town in the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745. In particular, it was one of the Episcopalian north-eastern ports where reinforcements, plus money and equipment, were periodically landed from France during the Forty-Five.

Peterhead has a number of in-town and out-of-town bus services.
Peterhead is further from a railway station ( 32 miles from Aberdeen ) than any other town of its size in Great Britain. The town once had two stations Peterhead railway station and Peterhead Docks railway station. Passenger trains on the Formartine and Buchan Railway stopped in 1965 under the Beeching Axe, and freight in 1970. The start of reconstruction of the Borders Railway to Galashiels (early 2013) has begun a local political debate into the possibility of reopening the line from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh and Peterhead.

The harbours, maritime and built heritage are the town's principal tourism assets. Recent initiatives include investments in the Peterhead Bay area, which have included the berthing of cruise ships in the harbour. A number of projects are planned under the auspices of the Peterhead Project initiative, including tourism strategy development, enhancement of existing attractions, measures to improve the town's physical attractiveness, and improved marketing and promotion.

Peterhead has a thriving port, serving the fishing, oil and gas and other commercial industries. It also receives many visiting seafarers arriving on ships that ply these trades. Seafarers' welfare organisation Apostleship of the Sea has a port chaplain at Peterhead to provide pastoral and practical support to them. Peterhead F.C. are a Scottish Football League club who play in the League One. They won the League Two championship in 2013–14.
Peterhead also has a successful amateur boxing club, and in 2008 was the most successful boxing club in Northern Scotland. And currently has two reigning Scottish champions. The boxing gym is open to all and located in Ellis Street.

Peterheads sole surviving convict van

The only sole surviving Peterhead Prison railway carriage and its underframe seen here being loaded onto its transportation at the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway in Scotland 18/03/2014.
Some History.
This carriage, it transpires was acquired by the railway museum for restoration and is one of four carriages especially built to transport prisoners on the British State Railway. This short (2.5 miles) standard gauge line opened in 1889 and formed part of the project to build Peterhead Harbour of Refuge. Peterhead was chosen as the site for the harbour because of its strategic position for North Sea fishing and proximity to a supply of suitable construction material, the granite quarry at Stirling Hill. Peterhead Prison was built to house the convicts used to provide the labour needed to carry out the heavy construction work and granite quarrying involved. The Admiralty Yard, built next to the prison, contained workshops and storage facilities for the materials needed in the construction work. In 1889 a standard gauge railway was built between Admiralty Yard, the south breakwater and Stirling Hill Quarry. Shackled prisoners, accompanied by warders carrying cutlasses, travelled in 4 specially built carriages between Admiralty Yard and Stirling Hill Quarry where, under armed guard, they extracted granite for the harbour..
The carriage was rescued from a farmyard at Crimond and consists only of the wooden box with small barred windows which formed the coach body. It is thought to have been built in 1915 and now requires extensive restoration.
The sole surviving convict van (one of four built in 1915) is to be restored as part of the Rocks, Rouges, Rails and Refuge project to explore this aspect of social and transport heritage. Once completed the van, and associated displays will become part of the Maud Railway Museum, in Aberdeenshire.

Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. It is often referred to as The Blue Toun (locally spelt as The Bloo Toon) and people who were born there as Blue Touners (locally spelt as Bloo Tooners).

History
Peterhead was founded by fishermen and was developed as a planned settlement. In 1593 the construction of Peterhead's first harbour, Port Henry, encouraged the growth of Peterhead as a fishing port and established a base for trade.

Peterhead is the largest settlement in Buchan, a committee area of Aberdeenshire.
The town was a burgh in the historic county of Aberdeenshire. In 1930 it became a small burgh under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929, but in 1975 small burghs were abolished and Peterhead became part of the district of Banff and Buchan within the new Grampian Region. When districts and regions were abolished in 1996, Peterhead became part of the new unitary authority of Aberdeenshire.
Since 1975 Peterhead has had a community council, with limited powers.
Education

Scotland Shorts - Castle Trail

In Aberdeenshire there are more castles per acre than anywhere else in the UK, and 19 of the most famous and dramatic castles are part of Scotland’s Castle Trail.

With an impressive tally of over 300 castles, stately mansions and ruins scattered across the landscape, Aberdeenshire is unsurprisingly known as ‘Scotland’s Castle Country’. Spend two days on the trail and discover a wealth of history and fun things to do – from hearing gruesome tales to strolling through huge estates.

On the trail you can visit the spectacular clifftop ruin of Dunnottar Castle; hear the tale of Crathes Castle’s ghostly Green Lady; discover the secrets of Tolquhon Castle; or visit one of the largest tower houses in Scotland, Castle Fraser, among many others.

Coming in all shapes and sizes, each castle has a different story to tell, from crumbling ruins to royal residences in the countryside. Which one will you explore first?
