Portsoy, the Boat Shed

The Boatshed, built upon the ruins of a former boatshed/store, was fully renovated and opened in 2015.

Work was undertaken by Brown + Brown Architects, who have won awards for their design and work on the building. This project was partly funded by Aberdeenshire Council, CARS (a collaboration between Aberdeenshire Council and Historic Scotland), and the Aberdeenshire European Fisheries Fund.

It is now home to a group of enthusiastic boatbuilding volunteers who use the purposely designed workshop space for community boatbuilding projects and school boatbuilding sessions, ensuring the skills of traditional boatbuilding remain active ? come along and see them at work!
