The area around Peterhead.
Peterhead, the "Blue Toon", is one of Europe's leading white-fish ports, and fishing, fish processing and offshore energy support work drive its economy. Many residents work long or irregular hours at sea or on shift, and the town serves a wide rural stretch of Buchan. A Peterhead business benefits from a site that takes enquiries out of hours and names nearby villages such as Boddam, Longside and Cruden Bay, and from showing that it is based locally rather than coming up from Aberdeen.
Closest to Peterhead within Aberdeenshire: Ellon (15 miles), Fraserburgh (15 miles), Oldmeldrum (23 miles) and Turriff (25 miles). Further out, Aberdeen (27 miles) is within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
Inside Peterhead, the site can name areas such as Boddam, Longside, Cruden Bay, St Fergus, Inverugie and Buchanhaven.
From our base in Exeter, Peterhead is about 474 miles to the north. Its postcodes start AB.
