    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • The Fishing-Boat Harbours of Fraserburgh, Sandhaven, Arid Portsoy, on the North-East Coaxt of Scotland.” by JOHNWILLET, M
    Prooeedings.1 WILLET ON FRASERBURGH HARBOUR. 123 (Paper No. 2197.) ‘I The Fishing-Boat Harbours of Fraserburgh, Sandhaven, arid Portsoy, on the North-East Coaxt of Scotland.” By JOHNWILLET, M. Inst. C.E. ALONGthe whole line of coast lying between the Firth of Forth and Cromarty Firth, at least 160 miles in length, little natural protection exists for fishing-boats. The remarkable development, however, of the herring-fishery, during the last thirty years, has induced Harbour Boards and owners of private harbours, at several places along the Aberdeenshire and Banffshire coasts, to improve theshelter and increase the accommodation of their harbours, in the design and execution of which works the Author has been engaged for the last twelve years. FIXASERBURGHHARBOUR. Fraserburgh may be regarded as t,he chief Scottish port of the herring-fishery. In 1854, the boats hailing from Fraserburgh during the fishing season were three hundred and eighty-nine, and in 1885 seven hundred and forty-two, valued with their nets and lines atS’255,OOO ; meanwhile the revenue of the harbour increased from 51,743 in 1854 to 59,281 in 1884. The town and harbour are situated on the west side of Fraserburgh Bay, which faces north- north-east, and is about 2 miles longand 1 mile broad. The harbour is sheltered by land, except between north-west and east- south-east. The winds from north round to east bring the heaviest seas into the harbour. The flood-tide sets from Kinnaird Head, at the western extremity of the bay, to Cairnbulg Point at the east, with a velocity of 24 knots an hour ; and the ebb-tide runs in a north-easterly direction from the end of thebreakwater.

  • Short Walks in Scotland Under 10 Km Cairnbulg-Whitelinks Bay-St Combs
    The Mack Walks: Short Walks in Scotland Under 10 km Cairnbulg-Whitelinks Bay-St Combs Circuit (Aberdeenshire) Route Summary This is a bracing walk along the windy coastline at the NE corner of Scotland passing through evocative old fishing villages and crossing the wonderful crescent-shaped beach at Whitelinks Bay. Duration: 2.75 hours. Route Overview Duration: 2.75 hours. Transport/Parking: Stagecoach 69 bus service from Fraserburgh. Check timetable. Free parking at walk start/finish, Cairnbulg Harbour. Length: 8.170 km / 5.11 mi Height Gain: 60 meter. Height Loss: 60 meter. Max Height: 16 meter. Min Height: 0 meter. Surface: Moderate. Mostly on paved surfaces. Some walking on good grassy tracks and a section of beach walking. Difficulty: Easy. Child Friendly: Yes, if children are used to walks of this distance. Dog Friendly: Yes, but keep dogs on lead on public roads. Refreshments: Options in Fraserburgh. Description This is an enjoyable circuit along the airy coast between Cairnbulg and St Combs, on the “Knuckle of North East Scotland”, where the coastline turns west from the more exposed North Sea to the increasingly more sheltered Moray Firth. The combined villages of Cairnbulg and Inverallochy (the local Community Council is now called “Invercairn”) have a long association with the fishing industry, although as the nature of fishing operations changed, the locus moved to nearby Fraserburgh. The inadequate nature of the original fisher huts was cruelly exposed in the cholera epidemics of the 1860s and they were cleared to make way for planned settlements centred on Inverallochy and Cairnbulg and, a little further down the coast, at St Combs.

  • Welcome to Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire
    WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com @visitabdn | #visitABDN Film locations on the coast ITINERARY With its vast mountainous landscapes and outstanding coastlines, quaint fishing villages and fairytale castles, this part of Scotland has inspired world-famous story tellers and filmmakers. We've pulled together a two day itinerary to help you make the most of your 'stage and screen' trip to Aberdeenshire: Portsoy - Whisky Galore! (2016) Portsoy is a popular village thanks to its vibrant trademark boat festival and picturesque 17th century harbour, but that's not all. In 2016, Whisky Galore! was filmed on location in Portsoy. The film tells the true story of an incident that took place on the island of Eriskay when the SS Politician ran aground with a cargo including 28,000 cases of malt whisky starring James Cosmo and Eddie Izzard. Pennan - Whisky Galore! (2016) & Local Hero (1983) Whisky Galore! also filmed along the coastline in Pennan too and this wasn't the first time Pennan has shot to fame. Local Hero starring Burt Lancaster and Peter Capaldi, tells the story of an American oil executive who is sent to a remote Scottish village to acquire the village to convert it into a refinery. The film was filmed in Pennan and Banff and the red phonebox is one of the most famous in the world and can still be found in Pennan. Slains Castle - The Crown (2016 - ) & Dracula (1897) No trip to Aberdeenshire would be complete for fans of the Netflix show The Crown without a trip to Slains Castle on the coast of Cruden Bay.
