Peterhead Bay Marina

Located on the North Sea coast, about 30 miles north of Aberdeen, Peterhead is a major fishing port and the traditional business and commercial center for Buchan families and workers in agriculture and fishing. With recently implemented fishing restrictions and the deceleration in the North Sea oil industry, the ports’ future was in the balance. That was until the innate resilience and adaptability of the local people came into action and the Peterhead Bay marina was created. The marina, considered one of the best-equipped marinas in eastern Scotland, is considered one of the best-equipped leisure ports in eastern Scotland. Famous for its red granite architecture, Peterhead’s city center is dominated by the 18th-century house. A bustling center for shopping and socializing, it has become a magnet for walkers and people looking for a short break. Indulge in a retail therapy session and then relax or recharge at one of the many seafood restaurants or cozy pubs. If the sun is shining, head to the award-winning Lido Beach or play 18 holes at the 18th oldest golf club in the world. Attractions include the Peterhead Maritime Museum and the 400-year-old Ugie Salmon Fish House, where you can see how fish is smoked using traditional methods. Peterhead has certainly moved through time and in so doing has become a 21st century town with its traditional heart clearly put into its hands. Warm, hospitable and always fun, it is undoubtedly the local spirit that makes a visit to Peterhead worthwhile.
