Peterhead is a coastal town in Aberdeenshire, situated on Scotland's easternmost point. Historically, it has been one of Scotland's most important fishing ports, with a rich maritime heritage that continues to influence its culture today. The town was established in the 16th century and grew significantly during the herring boom of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Beyond its fishing industry, Peterhead is known for its distinctive architecture built from local blue granite, giving the town its nickname 'The Blue Toon.' The town has evolved to embrace both its traditional maritime roots and modern industries, including its role as a major service center for North Sea oil operations. Cultural institutions in the area help preserve and showcase the town's heritage, particularly its maritime history and connections to Scotland's northeastern coastal communities.
