Rosehearty
Located four miles west of Fraserburgh, Rosehearty village is thought to have been formed as one of the first seaports in Scotland in the 1300's by shipwrecked Danish fishermen. Rosehearty was known to have been a very active harbour during the peak of the herring trade in the 19th Century, accommodating around 88 fishing boats. Today, Rosehearty's harbour is quiet, yet still active, and the village is slowly growing now with a population of around 1,200. The village boasts pre-schooling and a primary school, library, public hall, church, newsagent / general grocer, hotel with bar and restaurant, 9-hole links golf course, leisure play park, caravan and camping park, beautiful sandy beach and dramatic coastal walks to the west.
Pitsligo Castle
Pitsligo Castle was constructed in 1424 by the Fraser family. It is understood that various packages of works were carried out to the building over the next 200 years or so, but was notably enlarged in 1570 by the Forbes family, who also went on to expand Rosehearty settlement including construction of Pitsligo Church in 1632.
During the 1715 Jacobite Uprising, a successor of Sir Alex Forbes made a contentious decision, which led to the lands and titles relinquished. Pitsligo Castle and it's neighbour, Pittulie Castle, were both in ruinous states by the 1850's, where they have both remained and continued to decay.
