Scotland's busiest fishing port (the largest white fish port in Europe), the Arbuthnot Museum, the Prison Museum (one of Scotland's most notorious prisons), and a remote Aberdeenshire port of great character
A little history
Peterhead is the largest white fish port in Europe — processing enormous quantities of haddock, cod and other North Sea fish. The prison, opened in 1888, housed some of Scotland's most notorious criminals and was the scene of riots. The pink granite of Peterhead — distinctive and durable — built the harbours of the British Empire.
The harbour for the extraordinary fishing fleet and the freshest possible fish. The Arbuthnot Museum for the maritime heritage. The Prison Museum for the remarkable criminal history. The pink granite architecture throughout the town.
