Fraserburgh is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies at the far northeast corner of Aberdeenshire, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Aberdeen, and 17 miles (27 km) north of Peterhead. It is the biggest shellfish port in Europe, landing over 12,000 tonnes in 2008, and is also a major white fish port and busy commercial harbour.
The name of the town means, literally, 'burgh of Fraser', after the Fraser family that bought the lands of Philorth in 1504 and thereafter brought about major improvement due to investment over the next century. Fraserburgh became a burgh of barony in 1546. By 1570, the Fraser family had built a castle (Fraserburgh Castle) at Kinnaird's Head and within a year the area church was built. By the 1590s the area known as Faithlie was developing a small harbour.
In 1592, Faithlie was renamed Fraserburgh by a charter of the Crown under King James VI. Sir Alexander Fraser was given permission to improve and govern the town as Lord Saltoun. At present this title is still in existence and is held by Flora Fraser, 20th Lady Saltoun and head of Clan Fraser. The Royal Charter also gave permission to build a college and university in Fraserburgh allowing the Lord Saltoun to appoint a rector, a principal, a sub-principal, and all the professors for teaching the different sciences.
A grant from the Scottish Parliament in 1595 allowed the first college building to be erected by Alexander Fraser, and in 1597 the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland recommended the Rev. Charles Ferme, then minister at the Old Parish, to be its first (and only) principal.
In 1601, Fraserburgh became a burgh of regality. The college, however, closed only a decade or so after Ferme's arrest on the orders of James VI for taking part in the 1605 General Assembly, being used again only for a short time in 1647 when King's College, Aberdeen temporarily relocated owing to an outbreak of plague. A plaque commemorating its existence may be seen on the exterior wall of the remains of the Alexandra Hotel in College Bounds.
Fraserburgh thereafter remained relatively quiet until 1787 when Fraserburgh Castle was converted to Kinnaird Head Lighthouse, Scotland's first mainland lighthouse. In 1803, the original 1571 church building was replaced and enlarged to seat 1000 people. The Auld Kirk was to be the standing authority in the town up until the 1840s.
The town has several attractions including an award-winning sand beach, a major harbour, the lighthouse museum, heritage centre and a variety of amenities and facilities. It is home to the famous Kinnaird Head lighthouse/castle. Fraserburgh also has a variety of churches including; 3 Church of Scotland congregations (Old Parish, South Church and West Church), 4 Pentecostal churches (Elim Pentecostal, Assembly of God, Calvary Church and Emmanual Christian Fellowship), as well as Baptist, Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Congregational, Brethren and Bethesda Evangelical Church and the Salvation Army. Also the community war memorial by Alexander Carrick. The oldest church building in Fraserburgh is Fraserburgh Old Parish Church.

Travel Photography - Fraserburgh, Scotland
Join me on a walk in Fraserburgh in the north east of Scotland. I'm exploring the area taking photos and video and looking for my photo of the day. My challenge this week was that it was a little windy and I was trying to change camera lenses inside my camera bag to stop them being damaged by flying sand.
On the plus side, this is one of the most photogenic areas in Aberdeenshire and I was there on a day when the weather was beautiful and the scenery was stunning, so it was great to spend time there.
I started at the beach, then on to the harbour and finished up at Kinnaird Head lighthouse. Many thanks to Linda Brand who drove me to Fraserburgh and pointed out some good shots.
If you're looking for interesting and colourful travel photography, then a harbour is usually a great source of bright colours and inspiration.

A' Bhruaich - Fraserburgh at War / Little London
Fraserburgh (known locally as The Broch) can claim three holders of the Victoria Cross, an outstanding number of Britain's highest military award for such a small fishing town. During the Second World War (1939-45) Fraserburgh became known as Little London. The German Luftwaffe targeted merchant convoys, which sailed close-by the coastline. Before returning to their air base in Trondheim, Norway, they would unload their unused bombs .... on Fraserburgh.
