Fraserburgh is a compact coastal town on the northeast tip of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, sitting on the windy shores of the North Sea. It grew up around a busy harbour and remains known for its fishing and seafood processing - it’s regarded as one of the UK’s largest shellfish ports - and its population gives it a strong, working-town feel rather than being a tourist resort.
Historically the town is anchored by the old castle at Kinnaird Head, now the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, and the harbour, piers and promenades reflect centuries of maritime life. Today the local economy mixes fisheries, processing and service industries, while the coastline draws birdwatchers, anglers and people interested in coastal history, with a close-knit community and local events that reflect its seafaring heritage.
