Peterhead South and Cruden sits on the North Sea coast of Aberdeenshire in northeast Scotland, taking in the southern edge of Peterhead and the string of coastal villages around Cruden Bay. The landscape is a mix of working harbour, sandy bays and dramatic headlands such as Bullers of Buchan, with the evocative ruins of Slains Castle overlooking the sea and a hinterland of agricultural plain.
Economically the ward blends Peterhead’s long-established fishing port and energy-related activity - including the prominent Peterhead Power Station - with farming and a modest tourism trade centred on golf at Cruden Bay Golf Club, wildlife and coastal walking. The area retains a strong maritime identity and a mix of urban and rural communities, with local history and seasonal visitors shaping its social character.
