Broadsea Village

Broadsea, also known as ‘The Seatown’ was originally a separate village which is now integrated into the town of Fraserburgh. The village was inhabited by fishermen, a hardy but insular community of people. The first houses were erected at the point of the headland and later the village extended further inland. Broadsea was the home of Christian Watt, author of the Christian Watt Papers. Today this village is a conservation area and the rudiments of the original settlement are still to be seen
