Old photograph of Peterhead Bay, a large remote industrial tidal coastal embayment, located next to the planned community, commercial fishing and ship building town of Peterhead, Scotland. The bay lies to the south of the town, forming a large natural harbour. It was enclosed by breakwaters, to turn the natural harbour into a marina and port, that is now owned by the Port of Peterhead. It was here, on 25 December 1715, that the old pretender, James Francis Edward Stuart, landed and resided at a house at the south end of Longate, owned by Mr James, and being visited by his friends, including George Keith and Earl Marischal.
