Purse seine boats landing herring
These Peterhead (PD) fishing boats are landing herring. The picture dates back to 1970 after which the herring fishery collapsed in the North Sea due to over-fishing.
There was a short-lived University in Fraserburgh at the start of the 17th century. A commemorative plaque is said to be on the wall of the Alexandra Hotel at the corner of Denmark Street with the High Street NJ994671. A photo of the hotel/plaque would be of interest.
