a small sea-port town in the county of Aberdeen, situated on the point of land called Kinnaird's Head, which is the southern extremity of the Murray firth. It has a small but excellent harbour, made and kept up at a considerable expense by the proprietor and the town, and well adapted for building small vessels. According to the tide, there are from 11 to 15 feet water within the harbour, and 20 feet immediately without at spring tides: without is a tolerable road for shipping, in a bay nearly a league in length and half a league in breadth, with good anchorage in a sandy bottom. Vessels of about 200 tons burden can enter the harbour. Frasersburgh contained 2271 inhabitants in 1811, and is well situated for trade with the east coast of Europe. The only manufacture carried on in Frasersburgh is in linen yarn, of which there is annually exported to the amount of 3000l. or 4000l.
