The Peterhead North and Rattray area sits on the north‑east coast of Aberdeenshire in Scotland, taking in the northern quarter of Peterhead and the low, sandy coastal landscape around Rattray, including the dunes and distinctive headland at Rattray Head that looks out over the North Sea.
It has a strong maritime character - Peterhead is a granite‑built port with a long fishing tradition and remains an important centre for fishing, processing and links to offshore energy, while the coastline draws birdwatchers and coastal walkers. The community mixes longstanding local families with people employed in the energy and service sectors, and the area’s harbour, coastal scenery and maritime history provide a clear sense of place and local identity.
