Cruises from Peterhead
Peterhead is a town in Aberdeenshire, at the easternmost point of mainland Scotland, and 44km north of Aberdeen. The fishing harbour has two breakwaters (total length 1.3km) enclosing the bay. In the early 19th C Peterhead was one of Great Britain’s leading whaling ports. Fishing remains a strength of the economy, along with diverse industries, that include servicing the oil and gas industries following the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1960s.
