  • Cover photo description:
  • The villages of Inverallochy Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Aileachaidh and Cairnbulg from the Gaelic càrn builg meaning `gap cairn` lie some 4 miles 6.4 km east of Fraserburgh, in North East Scotland. Well-established fishing communities were in place in the area by the early 16th century, but after an epidemic of cholera in the 1860s wiped out the `collections of huts next to which fishing boats were dragged out of reach of the tide`, planned fishing settlements were recreated at Inverallochy and the twinned village Cairnbulg. As a result of this planning, within 20 years over 200 boats were based here, although in recent years this has dwindled to almost zero as larger, commercial operations became focused on the nearby ports of Fraserburgh and Peterhead.
