A photograph looking west into Stonehaven Harbour from the Breakwater.

A number of small boats can be seen moored alongside the Old Pier. Among them are fishing boats with Aberdeen registration numbers: A745 and A240. Cars, including a red Volkswagen Beetle, are parked around the harbour.

On the right side of the shore can be seen the Old Tolbooth, a listed 16th century former courthouse and prison. It now houses a local museum and a restaurant.

The road that curves around the harbour is called Shorehead. The three storey white building in the centre of this image is the Ship Inn. The Marine Hotel can be seen three buildings to the left.

The spire of Stonehaven Clock Tower, or Old Town Steeple, can be seen behind the Shorehead buildings.

The photograph comes from a collection of slides from the 1970s and 80s donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Aberdeen City Council's publicity department.
