Salmon House

Description

The oldest salmon fish-house in Scotland, the Fish House, as it is known locally was built on the banks of the River Ugie in 1585, and is the only building in Peterhead to survive more than four centuries. It was originally built for the 5th Earl Marischal for keeping game and fish. It has been used by salmon fishermen for over 100 years, as it stands on the banks of one of NE Scotland’s most prolific salmon and trout rivers – the River Ugie.
