Why local knowledge matters
Within the fishing industry, the name Fraserburgh is well-known, with the town being one of the largest shellfish ports in Europe and doing an impressive trade in other fruits of the sea as well. Yet Fraserburgh is also a picturesque town in Northern Aberdeenshire, with a first-class beach and several places of interest related to the town’s rich history.
Besides the fine sandy beach, visitors to Fraserburgh are attracted by the picturesque town centre, dominated by the stately granite structures which Aberdeenshire is famous for. The town is also surrounded by delightful Aberdeenshire countryside and the town’s impressive harbour is a definite highlight. The town offers a range of sporting and leisure facilities such as running tracks, swimming pools, tennis parks and football pitches.
Unsurprisingly, the town’s fortunes are closely entwined with that of the local fishing industry, which employs many local people and in turn leads a buoyant property market. The town is well-connected to both Aberdeen and Peterhead by the A90 road, which terminates in the town. Accordingly, many people living in Fraserburgh choose to commute to these other locations for work. Aberdeen, in particular, is about 45 minutes away and Fraserburgh is seen as an attractive cheaper option for those wishing to commute
