Pennan
Description
A photograph looking east towards Black Hill and Pennan Head, or Red Head of Pennan, in Buchan. A house called Havenlea can be seen on the hillside. The village of Pennan and shoreline can be seen in the foreground. Clothes are drying on washing lines and the pier of the harbour is visible in the distance. Aberdeenshire Council's Conservation Area Profile for the village (June 2022) states that Pennan was once a flourishing fishing village during the 18th and 19th centuries. Changes in the industry and to demand meant that commercial fishing progressively left Pennan following the First World War. The Pennan Harbour Trust state that the last commercial fishing vessel, the May Lily, left the village after the death of its owner in 2016. 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.
