Peterhead Pier

Peterhead Pier offers good general sea fishing, especially for cod, with dab, coalfish and wrasse all also caught with any mainstream sea fishing bait. This mark can be a snaggy venue, especially when casting outside the pier, but cleaner ground when casting into the harbour. Mackerel are caught from piers using feathers, daylights or spinners in summer. Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. It is often referred to as The Blue Toun (locally spelt as "The Bloo Toon") and people who were born there as Blue Touners (locally spelt as "Bloo Tooners"). More correctly they are called blue mogginers (locally spelt as "Bloomogganners"), supposedly from the blue worsted moggins or stockings that the fishermen originally wore.
