Peterhead - On the North Sea coast approx 30 miles/48km north of Aberdeen, it is bypassed by the A90 and on an attractive route to the north and Inverness. Peterhead is the largest town in Aberdeenshire and is a major fishing port and oil industry service support centre.

Peterhead is one of the major towns and ports of Aberdeenshire and is a traditional commercial and shopping centre for Buchan’s agriculture and fishing families and workers. This is well-reflected in the town’s facilities and shopping, and choice of hotels, restaurants, cafés pubs and takeaways for lunches etc. The largest hotels (town centre/outskirts) have 60/105 twins/doubles for group accommodation.

This unofficial Peterhead town website is a portal to many other local sites. If you know of a link suitable for inclusion that we have missed, please tell us - if you can't eventually find it via this site, it may not exist. This is a redevelopment of the old blootoon.com (Peterhead - the Blootoon) website but using today's technology more suited to broadband speeds. We'll be including more Web 2.0 features to allow for a better interactive experience, but this project is designed more to allow article input from local, ex-pat or even non-local contributors with an interest in Peterhead or the surrounding local area.
