Inch Rocks
Coastal Feature, Headland, Point in Aberdeenshire
Scotland
Inch Rocks
Inch Rocks is a prominent coastal feature located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is situated on the eastern coast of Scotland, near the town of Stonehaven. This coastal feature is primarily known for its distinctive headland and rocky shoreline, which juts out into the North Sea.
The headland itself is composed of rugged cliffs that rise steeply from the water, reaching heights of up to 50 feet in some areas. These cliffs are made up of layers of sedimentary rock, showcasing the geological history of the region. The rocks are predominantly gray in color, with occasional streaks of red and brown.
At low tide, a series of jagged rocks, known as Inch Rocks, become visible. These rocks are partially submerged at high tide but emerge as the water recedes. They provide a habitat for various marine species, including small fish, crabs, and mollusks. The area surrounding Inch Rocks is also known for its rich birdlife, with several species of seabirds nesting in the cliffs.
Inch Rocks is a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and photographers who are drawn to its dramatic landscape and abundant wildlife. It offers breathtaking views of the North Sea and the surrounding coastline. Visitors can also explore the nearby coastal trails, which provide access to other notable landmarks in the area, such as Dunnottar Castle, perched atop a cliff just a short distance away.
Overall, Inch Rocks is a captivating coastal feature that showcases the rugged beauty of Aberdeenshire's coastline and offers a glimpse into Scotland's natural heritage.

Library, King Edward Street, Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire
The building was designed by architect William Stephen Ferguson Wilson and opened in 1905 by Lord Saltoun. On 20th December 1904 an article in the Fraserburgh Herald and Northern Counties' Advertiser said,
"Thanks to the generosity of that multi-millionaire, Dr Andrew Carnegie, Fraserburgh will soon be the possessor one of the best equipped public libraries in the North of Scotland. It is sure to prove a distinct boon to the community. A commencement with the work of erection was made last month, and it is expected the building will be open to the public towards the close of the ensuing herring fishing season. The total cost will amount to £3400 of which sum Dr Carnegie has contributed £3000."
