NK 0933 3581 The fishing bothy and ice-house at Port Erroll are shown on the 1st Edition OS map of 1868 but may date to the development of Cruden Bay by the Earl of Erroll from c1830. They have been in use as a salmon fishing station until the present day. The ice-house is a single-storey semi-subterranean structure with stone walls and an arched roof of handmade bricks. The bothy was originally L-shaped but a wing had been added to form a U-shape. It has rubble stone walls and a slate roof but has been largely rebuilt internally. A wooden workshop and net store above the ice-house is being demolished. This survey was carried out on 21 October
2010.
