OS1/1/33/27 MORAY FIRTH Moray Firth Moray Firth Moray Firth Statistical Account. Aberdeenshire The Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland 002 ; 003 A gulf in the extreme north east of Scotland, a sea rather than a bay, or an estuary; the largest projection, and at the same time one of the most regular, which the ocean makes into the Scotland Coasts & Loosely defined, but with reference chiefly to its interior waters it is the Estuarium Vararis of ancient geographers. Its limits as assigned by the modern hydrography of the country, are somewhat various, and not very distinctly understood; but on the whole, they distribute into two easily ascertained parts, an exterior and an interior. The Exterior firth comprehends all the open sea south-west of a line between Duncansby-head in Caithness-shire and Kinnairds head in Aberdeenshire, onward to the entrance of the inner firth between Tarbetness in Ross-shire and Burgh-head in Morayshire. It blends with the German Ocean on the North-East, and, along the artifical line of connexion with it measures nearly 80 miles; it has the Counties of Caithness, Ross and Cromarty on the West and measures on that side about 70 miles; and it has Morayshire, Banffshire, and Aberdeenshire on the south, and measures along that coast about 57 miles: Extract from the Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland.

OS1/1/33/28 LIGHTHOUSE [Kinnairdshead Castle] Kinnairdshead Castle Collections of the Shires P. [Page] 432 Pratt's Buchan Records of Fraserburgh 003 "A few yards west of the Wine Tower stands the Castle of Kinnairds - head built about the year 1600 in the form of a parallelogram, thirty-nine feet by twenty-seven, still entire and strong, and lately repaired. Being on an eminence, and four stories high it commands an extensive prospect." Collections of the Shires p [page 432] "The Castle of Kinnairds Head is is built in the form of a parallelogram thirty-nine feet by twenty-seven. The tower which is the only remaining portion of the castle is now converted into a lighthouse. It is built on an eminence and has four stories besides the lantern chamber added for the reception of the lighthouse appuratus. It was let on lease in 1787 to the Northern Lighthouse Company, and fitted up by them for that purpose. The Castle commands an extensive view. Looking westward the eye traverses the whole expanse of the Moray Firth, resting on the far off hills of Caithness which at the distance of sixty miles melt into the soft haze of the dipping clouds. Pratt's Buchan The lantern of the lighthouse stands one hundred and twenty feet above high water mark. It was fitted up with a fixed dioptrick light: which is seen at sea at a distance of 15 nautical miles. At first the reflectors were composed of "facets of silvered glass" one point only being brought into the curve of the parabola. In 1820 copper reflectors silvered and formed to the parabolic curve were substituted. These remained till the 15th September 1851 when the Caladioptrick light was first used. This is said to be five times stronger than the light from the reflectors, and that the light reflected from the parabolic reflectors is about three hundred and fifty times as intense as an unassisted light: The one lamp by which the light is now produced, has four wicks, consumes as much oil as eighteen argand lamps and requires for its support from seven hundred and eighty to eight hundred gallons annually:

OS1/1/33/31 FRASERBURGH [town] Fraserburgh Fraserburgh Fraserburgh Lord Saltoun New Statistical Account The Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland 003 Fraserburgh, a post-town, a sea-port and a burgh of regality, stands on the north-west side of the bay of Fraserburgh, and south side of Kinnairds head. 17 ½ miles north-north-west of Peterhead. 22 miles East of Banff and 42 North of Aberdeen. It was founded early in the 16 Century, on the Estate of Fraser of Philorth; and was constituted a burgh of regality in 1613. It no doubt took the name of Fraserburgh from Fraser of Philorth, either originally as lord of the soil or subsequently as the procurer of its charter and it seems to have very soon communicated its name to the parish. It is neatly built of a square form, with most of the Streets, which are spacious, crossing each other at right angles. Numerous improvements have been made in recent times. Elegant and comfortable houses have been erected and new streets laid out [Continued Page 32]

OS1/1/33/32 FRASERBURGH (Continued) out on a symmetrical plan. The cross, errected by Sir Alexander Fraser, was a fine structure, of a hexagonal figure, with three equidistant hexagonal abutments, a ground area of about 500 feet, and a surmounting stone pillar 12 feet high, bearing the British arms and the arms of Fraser; but it has been greatly curtailed and altered. The places of Worship and the parochial schoolhouse are creditable structures. The town house is a handsome building erected in 1855, with a dome. "Fraserburgh," said the New Statistical Account in 1840, "is one of the old burghs of regality, having its government vested in Lord Saltoun, the Superior, two bailies, a dean of guild, a Treasurer, and a Council. His lordship has the right and authority of provost, with power to nominate and appoint yearly the new magistrates and council, with the advice and consent of the old, By the Charter, the feuars and incorporated Brethern of the guild have liberty to exercise all kinds of trade and merchandise. Those who are not freemen, may be debarred this privelege: but for a long period this exclusion has not been insisted on. The feuars are obliged to uphold the public works of the town, but for doing so the market customs were granted them. and in lieu of some privileges which they possessed over commonable land, they have obtained others from Lord Saltoun, which now rent at [£3.8.0] sterling per annum. These funds have been hitherto applied to repairing the Streets and opening new ones, but chiefly to bringing water into the town for domestic use, of which the inhabitants stood in great need, and of which there is now an ample supply: Sheriff small debt courts are held four times a year. Fraserburgh is in a thriving condition at once , as a centre of the herring fishery. a seaport and as a seat of considerable provincial trade
