Old Travel Blog Photograph Cottages By The Coast Whitehills Scotland
Old travel Blog photograph of cottages and houses by the coast in Whitehills on the Moray Firth on the North East coast of Scotland. Whitehills was a very successful fishing port up until 1999, when due to changes in the fishing industry, the Commissioners decided to develop it as a Marina. Between 1924 and 1969 Whitehills had an RNLI lifeboat station. The station was transferred from Banff and in 1932 a new boathouse and slipway, which still stand today, were constructed for a new motor lifeboat. Whitehills received a new 47ft Watson-class boat in 1961, but this was withdrawn and the station closed in 1969 after launching only eleven times in eight years.
