| If you are in the Buckie
Area we extend to you a warm welcome to visit us at the Heritage
Centre. You will discover the unique fishing history of this
lovely part of the Moray Firth. We have a very extensive range
of photographs which depict all aspects of the fishing
industries which flourished here in the past. Our collection is in excess of 8000 photographs and includes most of the BCK and BF boat registrations and some other neighbouring registrations. In addition you will find photographs showing the gutting quines, coopers and many other items relating to the heritage of Buckie and District, There are numerous artefacts on display and a splendid collection of model boats ranging from Scaffies, Zulu boats, Drifters and Motor Fishing boats. Photographs may be accessed on our computers at the Centre or you can sit and browse through our large collection which is available to you in books. The Heritage Centre is run by volunteers who give up their free time in order to preserve the character and the history of the area. Admission is free although donations are welcome to assist with the cost of our overheads. Please call and have a chat with the members who are on duty and who will only be too happy to assist with any enquiries you may have. Visits may be arranged to the Heritage Centre by groups and visitors during the close season by contacting a member of the Committee or by leaving a message at the adjoining Public Library. School Groups, organisations and individuals are always made welcome provided a mutually convenient time is arranged for out of hours visits. |
