The north East corner of Scotland was described by the Gaels as
" The Land
at the Bend in the Ocean"
This remote corner
of Scotland is not so well known as the Highlands and Islands, but
posseses its own unique charm with it`s towering cliffs, golden
beaches, gently rolling countryside, quiet historic villages and
surging seas.
A quiet corner of the realm where the pace of life is just that
much slower and the quality of living that much better.Here Canute
was defeated by the Scots before his successful later conquest of
England. Here Robert the Bruce rampaged against challengers to his
throne. Here Saint Columba and Drostan introduced Christianity to
ancient Pictland 1,300 years ago.
And the hub of it all, bustling Peterhead, Europes premier white
fish port, haven for the fishing boats which harvest the riches
of the seas as far afield as the Arctic circle and into the wild
Atlantic.
