Buckie in days gone by: Fishing boat views at Buckie Harbour





Our regular voyage into times gone by in the local area takes us to Buckie Harbour and some former fishing vessels.

Buckie in days gone by will look back at pictures of the town - and surrounding areas - and shine a light on some of the biggest events to have happened in our community.

Taken from the archives of the Buckie and District Fishing Heritage Centre Ltd, the pictures show the town and its surrounding areas - in some cases more than 100 years ago.

Three fishing boats take centre stage this week.

Unusually for our lookback photos, one is in colour, showing the Rival, plus other fishing boats, tied up at Buckie in busier days for the fleet.

In our other photo, we can see the vessels Suilven and Frugality, also
