Is a parish and burgh <strong>of</strong> barony, containing<br />
<strong>the</strong> floru'ishing seaport town <strong>of</strong> that name,<br />
and is situated on <strong>the</strong> south side <strong>of</strong> Kinnaird<br />
Head, <strong>the</strong> Taixalum promontory <strong>of</strong> Phny. It is distant<br />
by rail 47i miles from Aberdeen, and 26 from<br />
Peterhead, and by road 42 miles from Aberdeen, 22<br />
from Banff, and 151 from Edinburgh. It has an excellent<br />
harbour, |and is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most important<br />
herring fishing stations on <strong>the</strong> east coast. The arrival<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fishermen with <strong>the</strong>ir families, and o<strong>the</strong>rs who<br />
assist in <strong>the</strong> curing operations, in <strong>the</strong> month <strong>of</strong> July,<br />
almost doubles <strong>the</strong> population <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> town, and<br />
creates considerable excitement, and what is <strong>of</strong> more<br />
importance, is a great source <strong>of</strong> wealth to its traders<br />
and <strong>the</strong> inhabitants generally, who use every effort<br />
to accommodate <strong>the</strong>ir visitors, who are increasing<br />
rapidly with each succeeding year. The town,<br />
originally built in <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> a square, has been<br />
considerably extended during <strong>the</strong> last few years,<br />
owing to <strong>the</strong> increased success <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fishing operations.<br />
The streets are kept in excellent order, and<br />
are lighted with gas. The affairs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> burgh are<br />
regulated by a provost, a baron bailie, and twelve<br />
ouncillors. A Sheriffs, Small Debt Court is held<br />

quarterly in <strong>the</strong> Town House. There are two firstclass<br />
hotels in <strong>the</strong> town, also several good inns, The<br />
banking interest is represented by four establishments,<br />
viz., <strong>the</strong> Aberdeen Town and County Bank,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Bank <strong>of</strong> Sctland, <strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong> Banking<br />
Co., and <strong>the</strong> Union Bank <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong>. There is an<br />
excellent harbour, which was much improved by<br />
powers conferred by Act <strong>of</strong> Parhament, 2 and 3<br />
Victoria, cap. 65. The Balaklava harbour contains<br />
an area <strong>of</strong> 14 acres, <strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong> harbour S-j acres, and<br />
<strong>the</strong> South harbour 5 acres. There are four quays, <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> aggregate length <strong>of</strong> 3,700 feet, two entrances from<br />
<strong>the</strong> sea—one between <strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong> and South piers, 70<br />
feet wide, and one to <strong>the</strong> Balaklava harbour, 110 feet<br />
wide. The South harbour is entered from <strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong><br />
harbour by an entrance <strong>of</strong> 36 feet in <strong>the</strong> pier which<br />
separates <strong>the</strong>m ; <strong>the</strong> depth <strong>of</strong> water on sil, ordinary<br />

having been found insufficient for <strong>the</strong> growing wants<br />
and safe refuge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> large fleet <strong>of</strong> fishing boats and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r vessels frequenting <strong>the</strong> port, an Act <strong>of</strong> Parliament<br />
has been obtained for fur<strong>the</strong>r extension and<br />
