Harbour Beacon At Rosehearty, Aberdeenshire,Scotland,UK Stock Photo

These two harbours are very similar in that they are patched on to the coast as opposed to being enclosed parts of a bay and both were very much larger in their heyday. They both have large disused harbour basins on their Eastern sides but unfortunately when the railway arrived in NE Scotland it only came as far as Fraserburgh and almost overnight the herring fleet started to land its catch there and the two small harbours went into a rapid decline and now all that remains at both locations are small, tidal, Western basins.
