A port existed at Aberdeen at least from the 14th century, but it was not until 1770 that a start was made on the modern harbour by commissioning a report from John Smeaton, following which the first North Pier, one of the
most remarkable in Britain requiring exceptional engineering talent to overcome storm effects, was built from 1774 and twice extended later.
