FRASERBURGH

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 40 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRASERBURGH , a police
burgh
  and seaport, on the N. coast of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Pop. (1891), 7466; (Igor), 9105., It is situated 471 M. by rail N. of Aberdeen, from which there; is a branch line, of which it is the terminus, of the
Great
  North of Scotland railway. It takes its name from Sir Alexander Fraser, the ancestor of Lord Saltoun, whose seat, Philorth
House
 , lies 2 M. to the south. Sir Alexander obtained for it in 1613 a charter as a
burgh
  of royalty, and also in 1592 a charter for the founding of a university. This latter project, however, was not carried out, and all that remains of the building in-tended for the college is a three-storeyed tower. The old castle of the Frasers on Kinnaird Head now contains a lighthouse, and close by is the Wine Tower, with a cave below. The town cross is a fine structure
standing
  upon a huge hexagon, surmounted by a stone pillar 12 ft. high, ornamented by the royal and Fraser arms. The port is one of the leading stations of the herring fishery in the north of Scotland and the head
of a fishery
district
 . During the herring season (June to September) the population is increased by upwards of io,000 per-sons. The
fleet
  numbers more than 700 boats, and the annual value of the catch exceeds 200,000. The harbour, origin-ally constructed as a
refuge
  for British ships of war, is one of the best on the
east
  coast, and has been improved by the widening of the piers and the extension of the breakwaters. It has an area of upwards of eight acres, is easy of access, and affords anchorage for vessels of every size.
