If you want to spend a day visiting a coastal town steeped in history and fishing, then take a trip to Peterhead.
As Aberdeenshire’s biggest town, Peterhead has lots to offer locals and visitors alike. And with many small and locally-owned businesses offering great products and services, there’s plenty of reasons to spend some time in the ‘Blue Toun’.
And with Christmas not too far away, now’s the time to get the inspiration for those hard-to-find gifts.
Here are just a few Peterhead businesses you can support in the run up to the festive season.
Buchanness Lighthouse Holidays
Stay in an original lightkeeper’s cottage at the base of Buchan Ness Lighthouse.
The four-star self-catering accommodation is perfect for short breaks for individuals, couples, families and even the pet dog!
The cottages are fully equipped to make your stay relaxing and tranquil and a great base for exploring all that Aberdeenshire has to offer.
You can also buy gift vouchers so your loved ones can enjoy this unique getaway.
