Scope and Content Salmon fishing station, Golf Road, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire This is the bothy and store block of a beach fishing station for salmon, and the earliest part is the oldest building associated with the fishing industry in Scotland. It is a rectangular crowstepped structure, extended to form an L. This view shows the building from the south west. The 16th century block is on the right, with a forestair giving access to the first floor. The addition on the left may be 18th century. Salmon-fishing was often a prerogative of the local landowner, though often contracted out. The style of the 16th century block suggests that it was built as an estate building.
