Old Photograph Inverallochy and Cairnbulg Scotland

Old photograph of Inverallochy and Cairnbulg located four miles East of Fraserburgh, Scotland. Well established fishing communities were in place in the area by the early 16th century, but after an epidemic of cholera in the 1860s wiped out the collections of huts next to which fishing boats were dragged out of reach of the tide, planned fishing settlements were recreated at Inverallochy and the twinned village Cairnbulg. As a result of this planning, within twenty years over 200 boats were based here, although in recent years this has dwindled back to almost none as larger, commercial operations became focused on the nearby ports of Fraserburgh and Peterhead.
