Try visiting our isolated former lighthouse shore station in the most easterly part of mainland Scotland, opposite the northern tip of Denmark. Our nearest neighbours are about a mile away in this, one of the driest, sunniest, midge-free areas of Scotland which is also the closest part of the UK mainland to Norway, Sweden and

Peterhead is a town in Scotland with a population of approximately 18,000. It is situated in Aberdeenshire, at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland.
Peterhead, like Fraserburgh, first grew as a fishing port, and became the largest white fish port in Europe. Although the industry is in decline, it is still important to the town. The Ugie Salmon Fish House showcases traditional fish preparation methods. The town grew again following the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1960s.
