Fraserburgh is a major fishing port in Aberdeenshire, historically one of Europe's busiest herring ports and now focused on white fish and shellfish. The town sits on Scotland's north-east tip with a working lighthouse museum designed by the grandfather of Robert Louis Stevenson. The fishing industry remains the economic backbone, supplemented by offshore energy servicing.
