Searching
I knew my grandfather and grandmother came from the area and we past through onto the town where they lived last - Strichen which was not too far away from New Pitsligo. I treasured the stillness and history of the area. Happy memories. Still searching for family from here Watt and Willox.

My First Visit
Was overwhelmed by open spaces,woodland, fields of pasture, arable, all seemingly laid out with such precision. Those responsible for management of the land appear to take so much care. Aberdeen Angus; Pheasants; variety of sheep, many types of bird including Buzzards swooping low over our heads.

Fraserburgh was such a change from where we lived in Buckinghamshire that the holidays were just different. I well remember the distinct smell of the harbour - the gut factory - the tarred nets on The Links. The beach was and still is quite superb with the weather somehow always being warm and sunny in July and August. At that time ...read more here

Extracts From Stuartfield & Aberdeenshire books
The Water House was designed by John Smith (1830). The top storey was a cistern, supplying water to the city, all of which was below it at this time. No longer required in the more sophisticated days at the end of the century, it became what it had always appeared to be, a rather superior tenement.

The modern city is still based on the viaduct streets of the 18th and 19th centuries.

From a compact site in the middle of Aberdeen, this company sent machinery all over the world. As this advert suggests, they specialised in food processing plant.

The narrowing of the river at this point shows clearly why the bridge was built here. By the time this photograph was taken, the muddy Inches were entirely reclaimed and the growing city occupies all of the horizon. Officially the Wellington Suspension Bridge, it has always been called locally, the Chain Brig.

Sailing vessels are seen here at Regent’s Quay. They were still dominant well into the 19th century.
