Photos from bygone days: Spotlight on fishing boats from down the decades

The Buckie and District Fishing Heritage Centre Ltd has shared archival photos highlighting two fishing boats from different eras. The SD Brine represents the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when steam drifters dominated the local fleet and were widely used to catch herring. From more modern times, the series also features the Girl Mary BCK 45. The article invites readers to recognize people in the photographs or identify the events depicted, and it asks locals to submit additional old images of Buckie and the surrounding area dating up to 2000. The museum’s material aims to spotlight major community moments through maritime history.
