A series of research investigations were carried out by Headland Archaeology on behalf of The Scottish Fisheries Museum Trust between 2009-2010. The aim of these was to help broaden the range of contextual information about some of the collections in the care of the Scottish Fisheries Museum. The following activities were carried out:
Field visit to the site of former small vernacular boat-yard near Portree, Skye;
Initial desk-based assessment and case study looking at Cardy Net Works, Lower Largo, Fife;
Initial desk-based assessment and site visit to the locations occupied by the MacDonald Brothers foundry, Portsoy (March 2010);
Desk-based assessment and Level 1 (English Heritage 2006) historic building survey of the buildings, structures and archaeological features at the Montrose Rope and Sail Works, Montrose (February 2010).
