STONEHAVEN is a town and seaport distant by I
rail about 16 miles from Aberdeen, 66 from Banff, 60
from Peterhead, 26 from Montrose, 41 from Foi'far,
42 from Arbroath, 58 from Dundee and 74 from
Perth. By road it is 15 miles from Aberdeen, 10 from
Bervie, and 23 from Montrose. It is situated on the
coast and on the rivers Carron and Cowie, and is
divided into an old and a new town. The former, in
the parish of Dunnottar, is a burgh of barony, under
the superiority of Viscount Keith's trustees, and has a
chief magistrate, second bailie, three councillors and
town clerk. The new town, in Petteresso parish, is
not a burgh, but is governed by an association of
feuars and householders, who elect a provost, baihes,
and councillors, and discharge all the duties of a
town council; all monies for improvements, &c. have to
be raised by pubhc subscription. The new town is
laid out on a regular plan, having broad streets, with
a square in the centre. In this square stands the
market buildings, erected in 1827, with -reading
rooms in the upper storey and shops beneath. The
buildings are private property, but a very handsome
spire 130 feet high, erected in the centre of them is
the property of the town, having been erected by
pubhc subscription. At present there is being erected
a fine town hall, estimated to cost from ^3,000 to
.£4,000. The old town consists of a few principal
streets and several narrow ones. The shore head and
the harbour, which is a natural basin sheltered by
high rocksj and has good quays for loading
QQ
and unloading vessels. There are eight vessels
belonging to Stonehaven, averaging about 100
tons each. About 40 fishing boats are employed
in haddock fishing, but during the herring season it
is not unusual to have from 100 to 200 boats engaged.
The boats come here from all quarters. The only
charge made on boats is 5s. for each for the herringseason.
The revenue of the Harbour in 1875 was
about d6550. The imports are coal, lime, salt, timber,
bark, stone for building and paving and millstones,
also staves for fish barrels. The exports consist
chiefly of grain, timber, and potatoes. The manufactui-e
of woollen goods, tanning, brewing and distilling
are carried on to some extent. A newspaper
is published weekly. There are three banking establishments
and several good inns. Sheriff Courts are
held in the County Hall every Wednesday during
Session and Small Debt and Debts Eecovery Courts
every alternate Wednesday. A fine new lifeboat and
rocket apparatus are stationed at Stonehaven and
have proved of service. The county buildings,
offices, gaol and police station are in old town. The
Combination Poor's House, a fine stone building is
situate about half a mile from Stonehaven. It was
was opened for the reception of inmates on the 28th
August 1867. The district comprises the parishes of
