Trawlers in Peterhead's South Harbour

Peterhead is the UK's premier white and pelagic fish port.

Buchanhaven Harbour

In 1850 work started on a new pier, to replace an earlier small one to the west. This was to be the first stage in the building of a proper harbour basin for large herring boats. This plan was never completed. Buchanhaven Pier, as it stands today, did allow the fishermen to operate small-line boats. By the mid 1860s there were 27 boats working from the harbour. The proximity of Peterhead and other larger fishing harbours eventually led to the demise of the harbour and nowadays only a few small boats use it.
