Peterhead history (4251 words)
In 1560, the parish of Peterugie was acquired from the Abbey of Deer by the Keiths Earls Marischal of Scotland, and renamed Peterhead.
Apart from a short period as a fashionable 18th-century spa, Peterhead is best known for its fishing heritage: in the 19th century as the chief British whaling centre; herring for most part of the 20th century and in the latter part this gave way in favour of whitefish to supply local fish-processing plants.
Peterhead's first harbour was begun in 1593, when the forth Earl Marischall (George) financed the building of a bulwark of oak timbers and boulders to protect Port Henry harbour.
