Smoke House

Smoke House
Now Waterlines Heritage Centre and café this harbour building was formally a part of the fishing industry back in time when Lybster used to be one of Scotland’s largest herring ports, of particular note is the old smoke house on the far right of the image.

By 1859 some 357 boats operated from the harbour, making it the third-busiest fishing port in Scotland, however only a handful of mainly crab boats work from the harbour these days.

A music link with a very surprising ABBA version, www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5__bvSyXN4

HBM and a great week to you all

A very impressive looking building..........and wall. The detail in both is outstanding! The little smoke-house certainly lives up to it's name, especially when viewed large.

Lovely work Roger!

Thank you, Keith, The smoke house has a new end wall, so it may have been shortened when the road was altered.

Like many fishing villages around our coast -all has changed. A recent trip to Craster in Northumberland showed a working smoke-house but somehow I never really photographed it properly as too many cars etc. Ah well. Well done.

HBM, enjoy the day. Herb

an interesting story you tell and fine buildings too . . a smile at the title
"Smoke House" . . with no chimneys (I'm laughing) . . . well taken Roger,

Ces constructions de pierres sont d'une beauté inégalées à nos jours, rustiques et esthétiques je les adore, très belle image d'un patrimoine à préserver sans aucu doute !
Bonne nouvelle semaine Roger.

I saw smoke houses like this one in the North of the Peninsula here, but we smoke pork meat, chorizos, some spicy, others not.

A wonderful perspective on this impressive building. I like the textures of the stonework and the old smokehouse with the evidence of its purpose on the walls.

Enjoy your day Roger
