If someone was visiting Peterhead for the weekend …

Where would you take them first? A walk along the harbour? Coastal paths? The Prison Museum? Golf, the Brewery, the Lido – or somewhere only locals know about?

No one knows Peterhead better than the people who live here.

There are also plenty of ideas on the ‘Things To Do’ page of our website.

📍 Where would you suggest visiting first?

This is about Peterhead – and it all starts with you.

Record Breaking Year for Port!

You are likely to have seen the news that Peterhead Port reported record fish landings during 2025. An increase of £84m to £341m ensures we still hold the position as the UK’s top fishing port.

This is a very positive reminder of the importance of fishing in our Blue Toon and the hard work and resilience it takes to increase revenue consistently year on year.

Thank you to the amazing team at Peterhead Port Authority.
