Full Description
Small former fishing village, depicted on historic mapping. Described by Frances Groome in the Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland (1882-4): 'it is a little place, of no more consequence than other fishing villages on the east coast; but it has gained celebrity for having been the first place to prepare the dried fish, called from it Findon or Finnan haddocks. Its boats number 30, its fishermen 96; and there is a public school. Population (1861) 190, (1871) 330'. The school was an unendowed School, with a schoolhouse and garden attached, and average attendance in 1863 of 45 pupils.
