The Buckie boats Just a brisk walk along the coast from Portknockie and you reach Buckie the largest fishing port in the area, most of the boats that had been out that day come from Buckie and the small villages adjacent. Buckie was quite a lot smaller in those days but was a thriving and burgeoning fishing port. It was to gather in the small villages in its vicinity as the century progressed. Each village holding on to its independence from its larger neighbour on the hill but each inexorably moving into the out environs of what became the town of Buckie. At the time however the last thing on the minds of the people were who belonged to where, all they knew was that their men were at sea, a terrible gale was blowing and their men faced the greatest danger. In Buckie, the results of the gale were scarcely less disastrous than at Portknockie. The number of fishermen here, however, is larger than in any other town in Scotland. Buckie has a population of upwards of 3000 and the fishing is its main support. No fewer than twenty-nine large boats were out here; and like the Portknockie boats, the fishermen ventured far out to sea. They cast their lines from 25 to 30 miles off the land, about north-east from the Bin Hill of Cullen. The boats lay all pretty close together, and seeing the morning getting rather rough, they commenced to haul about seven o’clock.

The start of the year was marked by the appearance of our first Nuthatch, a species currently expanding its range in Scotland. Unusual wildfowl in the first winter period included two long-staying Smews, up to five Surf Scoters and a Green-winged Teal. Waxwings were widespread in small numbers and the first of two Mediterranean Gulls for the year was a striking adult on Loch Spynie. Spring arrivals continued the early trend of recent years with record early dates for Swift, Cuckoo, Sedge Warbler and Spotted Flycatcher.

  • Jan 1 Buckie Thistle Was to Play Inverness Citadel at Cluny Park

Work at the Cluny Harbour was suspended in view of negotiations to purchase by the town council from the Cluny Trustees. Some tee-names Flett „Metal‟ and Thain „ Dandy‟ (both Findochty) Wood „Park‟ (Portknockie) - Thomson „ Green‟ (Buckie) A meeting of Buckie fishermen took place in the Fishermen‟s Hall to discuss the Buckie Harbour Question. By a large majority it was decided that the best option was to support the purchase of Cluny Harbour with extensions made, over a new harbour at Craigenroan or an extension of the Buckpool Harbour. A deputation was chosen to meet with the town council to put forward this view. The review of the past year in the B.A. carried a large piece on the Coronation and also the cessation of the Boer War. A poem is found on page 7 column 3 titles “A Happy New Year” The writer „Nomad‟ was almost certainly a „Templar‟.

Page | 2 Birds in Moray & Nairn 2007 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 23rd edition of Birds in Moray & Nairn, formerly known as the Moray & Nairn Bird Report. During the period since the first edition in 1985 the format has changed from a slender, stapled document of 25 Gestetner-duplicated A4 pages to the present perfect-bound product containing colour photography. There has also been a substantial increase in the number of contributing observers (23 in 1985, 110 in 2007) and in the volume of records submitted (14259 in 2007). Clearly, computerisation has greatly assisted with the handling of so many records and observers who do not already do so are encouraged to enter and submit their records by means of the Excel spreadsheet which can be obtained from the editor on request.
