Portsoy, Salmon Bothy

The Salmon Bothy was a working Salmon Bothy until the 1990s. It was renovated and opened in 2009 as a small museum and a community space called ‘Upstairs at the Bothy’. Now in its 10th year, the museum has been refreshed. Each of the three ice chambers of the Bothy contain new exhibitions. Chamber 1 is devoted to the salmon fishing industry telling its story and exhibiting the artefacts. It has our new children’s area and an area for viewing pictures of a bygone era. Chamber 2 tells the story of Portsoy with its famous 17th century harbour and the associated industries which developed because of the trading nature of town. Chamber 3 has been totally refurbished.
