Johnshaven harbour and village
A last look at this Scottish Eastern coastline (for now). The historic harbour village of Johnshaven is where we stayed for a week. Sleepy at this moment but it has many tales to tell.
'Johnshaven was one of the most successful fishing harbours in the early days of the 18C. In 1722 it was the fifth largest in Scotland with 26 boats sailing from there. From about 1743 it began to decline, firstly with 2 boats being lost and a few years later with crews being press ganged into the Navy. In 1753 sea-faring people and their families made up a third of the population of the parish, but by 1793 that number had fallen to less than a fifth.' ~ Johnshaven.com
Enjoy large.

The closest I have been is looking down from the plane to Aberdeen and seeing the wonderfully indented coast further up, flying to Aberdeen twice a year in the early nineties to visit corporate clients who were (of course) in the oil business. I didn't even get to see Aberdeen as the company's offices were close to Bryce Airport.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Andy Rodker clubA great pity that you never got to really explore the coast both north and south of Aberdeen. These old harbour towns all have a story to tell, mainly about the old herring days. I was surprised at how varied the scenery was, with high clifftops, sandy dune-clad bays, castle, lighthouses and interesting towns too. Aberdeen was a nice surprise for us giving us a wonderful walk through the granite city. Unfortunately we never got to the very oldest part of the city but that was made up by seeing the harbour entrance and lighthouse. -You will have to try again my friend.
Cheers, Herb
Herb Riddle club has replied to Steve Paxton clubSteve, we walked past the harbour here, each day and never saw more than a handful of people. Just one small fishing boat moving during the full week for us. As Daniela says below, there most be some more folk, as is so evident by the nets etc.
Cheers, Herb

Nice composition here, the big red ball on the right balances the boat so well.
And great history too!
