Scope and Content Gardenstown Harbour, Banffshire This harbour is formed by two breakwater piers and a linking stretch of quayed shore, creating a triangular basin. It was built during the herring boom of the later 19th century and probably replaced a smaller earlier harbour. This view shows the east breakwater pier on the right, and the west pier on the left. Note the broad quay on the right, designed to accommodate the gutting and curing of herring landed from sailing drifters. This harbour rapidly became too shallow for the larger fishing vessels, and so for many years boats owned in Gardenstown have operated from other north-east ports. This harbour is still used by small inshore boats and pleasure craft. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
