Old photograph of Broad Street, Peterhead, Scotland. Peterhead was a Jacobite supporting town in the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745. In particular, it was one of the Episcopalian North Eastern fishing ports where reinforcements, plus money and equipment, were periodically landed from France during the Forty-Five. Peterhead was founded by fishermen and was developed as a planned settlement. 1593 saw the construction of Peterhead's first harbour.
