Old Photograph Catterline Scotland

Old photograph of Catterline located on the coast of the North Sea four miles South of Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Catterline Bay is believed to have been a landing site for St Ninian in the 5th century as he brought Christianity to the Picts. For centuries, it served as a vital fishing village, using its sheltered cove, with a pier built in 1810 for protection and commerce. Fishermen supplemented incomes through smuggling.
