The things which can't be categorised

You can tell us more about Peterhead.

• Peterhead's scottish week is like spriklin glitter on a turd its poitnless.
• It has to be said having had the (ahem) pleasure of staying in peterhead for 5 blissful years. The lack of ability to speak even a slightly understandable amount of English escapes these inbred cretins. There has been millions floating around the place for years, first from the fish now from Oil/Gas and not ONE decent thing has been done to improve the place. Its now been over 3 years since I left that cod-fddling cesspit and do not miss it one bit. And bye the way the word is WHAT, not FIT folks. Keep trying you'll master the art of communication soon....maybe!

And don't forget.... Never look at someone if you ever come here, for you have comited a local crime and if that person can't fill you in then they will get someone who can.

• Churches ARE in abundance with varying denominations from traditonal such as Old Parish Church on Kirk St(Church Of Scotland) and the Methodist & Baptist (Queen/King St) , to the more lively and modern such as DOVE Christian Fellowship in Merchant Street.
• peterhead could be done with more shops, amusements, bowling, more pubs & clubs.
• There is F**K all wrong with the "Gravies", where else is there to go except the "Flaggie" where there is only junkies or christians!
• Peterhead Watersport Centre is down at the Lido, that place next to the Marina, and offers dinghy sailing, powerboating, and kayaking to both children & adults alike. We can also offer yacht sailing on our 37 ft sailing yacht. In addition we have a good shop selling a range of quality clothing and boat fittings.
• the new martine museum which is a fortune to get into i feel should not have been built. sure the building looks very modern but the fact is that it is not pulling and attracting customers.
• Im not sure if anyone has seen the new statue situated beside the Royal Bank of Scotland. But if you have then did it scare you as much as it did me!!??
• Hey I had to move 3000 miles away from the fools!
• I think I've had my say. Peterhead is a fishing port. It is a bit bare and barren but the quality of life is excellent. God help some of the moaners if they go live somewhere like London, Glasgow etc. They do not know how lucky they are. If they want something more exciting they should go - like I did when I was younger. But unfortunately some of them haven't got the guts.
• i wish i was childish and petty enough to reply to all the things on this site about me. sadly i'm not...see ya.
• As a recent visitor to the fine town of Peterhead, I would have to recommend a visit to the quite-unbelievably-titled "Curl Up & Dye" hair salon.
• The undercredited celebraties can be found at tabbie corner, the mountain, the lake of fire or the roundabput of life. Consisting of Gnome/viper, Afro/columbo/broken arrow, Spider/Speeding rat/Webass, Gayboy/the one/tennis shoe crew wannabie, Chink/Meriks man/Deckonator and myself along with myself (bedsnake) and papa the bedmoose. The are our loyal terrorists moosin and turdlicker but they have other agenda's to follow so we see them but for a half hour! These are the pillars of peterheads social life, organising the weekly hog festivals and taking people to the station when needbe (although first they might want to do a couple of laps).Please give credit to the crew and light up a cigar because we are the number one!
• Selection of vodka- There is quite a good selection of vodkas to choose from in the local shops. These range from top of the range Smirnoff (all colours and flavours) which comes at a price to the cheaper brands, Grant's, Konstantium etc. Safeway in the town centre has its own brand i.e. Safeway vodka. The cheapest would be 'Tudor vodka' which retyails for around £5.99 for 70cl. Or indeed Lydls could possibly be cheaper but although vodka tastes like paint stripper it isn't. However if one was to buy it from Lydls then it probably would be paint stripper in a bottle
• Peterhead is called the Bloo Toon because of the tremendous lack of public conveniences in the North-east... hence Theb Loo Toon, where people of travelling persuasion, can avail themselves of all their bladderly possesions in the interest of relievement. This amazing but strangely true fact was brought to you with the kind assistance of that nice Mr. Grolsch. There's more. Jimmy Elder, proprietor of the Bayview Hotel (and Elders bar) is actually a pre-historic Egiptian Mummy from Egypt. This fact is confirmed because you never see Jimmy and Tutincamun in the same roon at the same time. What? Eh... thats all.
• Peterhead is also known as the "Bloo Toon" because of the colour of the fishing boats. It is situated approx. 32 miles north of Aberdeen on the A925. During most of the year Peterhead is not known for its entertainment, however during the last week of July all of that changes.
  The last week of July is known as Scottish Week and is probably the last Scottish week still going on. During this week there are a multitude of things to do including taking part in the raft race where everone involved gets covered in flour, eggs and allsorts. There is plenty to watch too including the Red Arrows who made their second apperance this year, the Bay swim is also good to watch but not to take part in as the water is not known for its high temperature.
  Also during this week and the weeks before it Peterhead has its own local radio station, "WAVWS AM" on 1566 MW, this little station used to be situated on the Lido but has since moved to the town centre.
  Scottish Week is by far the busiest week in Peterhead for tourists and locals alike.
  As with most towns Peterhead does have its bad points. The weather can put a dampner on things, as it tends to be rather windy most of the time and rain is never in short supply.
  The Lido is home to the Yachting club and the new Marina which was opened by HRH The Princess Royal. There is also a caravan park which has just been given a new look. The Lido Cafe has just been taken down to make way for the Maratime Heritage Centre which will be due to open '96 or '97.
• Peterhead is called the "Bloo Toon" because it is the most north-easterly point on the north east coast. High winds reaching this point always make Peterhead the coldest place around and when you are cold you are "bloo". Therefore the phrase "bloo toon".
• Actually, they're both wrong about why it's the "Bloo Toon". In actual fact, in days gone by, people working in the fishing industry wore "moggans" - some form of protective gaiters - and people from Peterhead wore blue ones, and were therefore known as "Blue mogganers". Hence the Bloo Toon.
  Local fashion in Peterhead is approx a decade behind the rest of the world - beware of big perms, blonde highlights and white stilletos. But it's OK for a laugh on an occasional basis. People tend to meet up at the Palace Hotel for a drink first on a Friday and Saturday before moving elsewhere - it's recently been refurbished and is much improved, and has been known to have some reasonable live bands. Everything shuts by 1pm, at which point the next stop off is Zanre's chip shop in Queen St - to be avoided unless you're a local and don't mind hanging about in the street for hours.
  There is also a cinema on Queen St which has one screen and gets most of the big titles, albeit sometimes a bit after they've been on other places but not too bad. The town has a 300 seater theatre at the community centre which has things on occasionally. Peterhead has more churches per square inch than anywhere else I can think of, and its fair selection of peculiar denominations, like Plymouth Brethren who aren't allowed to watch TV or eat in the company of people who aren't of the same persuasion. Weird.
  People are in general very friendly, but pretty conservative (with a small "c") eg I don't know of any gay people who were publicly "out", and living with your partner if you're not married still ruffles feathers. It's not a place I'd pick out as being a must-see if you're on a tour round Scotland, but if you do end up there, you can have a good enough time if you make the effort to find the decent pubs and explore the coastline and beaches round about.
• How I heard the story about the Bloo toon: a ship went down, it was sunk near Peterhead. The crates that washed up on the shore were wool that was of the colour blue. The people that got these crates started knitting everything blue like cardigans, jumpers even hats... all BLUE. So, this is another part of the story of why it is called the Bloo Toon.
  Another story: Peterhead started out as a whaling town, and then it becam just a fishing town for Herring. It now has the biggest fish market in the north of Scotland.
  Another story: Well, many years ago, my grandfather, George Duff, who was an old whaler, met an Eskimo (a yakkie), who had sailed from Iceland to Peterhead in a Kayak. It has one of the toughest prisons in Britain; only the worst murderers and rapists are imprisoned there. Although many try to escape, they have never succeded because the prison is like an island (like Alcatraz). If a prisoner runs to the countryside, to try to get to Aberdeen, the farm people who he tries to get clothes and things from will report him to the guards. My grandad's name who told you this story is William Duncan Duff of Corby.
• Peterhead is called the "Bloo-toon" not because of cardigans or how cold it is, the reason being street-lighting. Peterhead was one of the last town's in scotland to have the old fashioned street lamps which made everything look blue!!! Instead of the modern orange lamps.....
• Fraserburgh's nickname is the Broch. The worst traffic in Fraserburgh is on a Sunday Night when all the local young folk drive round in circles in the town centre where the flagole used to be. In one night, there could be anything up to 200 cars nose to tail doing this. The local fisherman are mostly loaded and dodge tax and clain dole (drive up to the job centre in their BMW's to do so). An essential item of clothing for women is a Helly Hansen Jacket (in White) An essential item of clothing for men are the good old Adidas Samba Trainers. In Fraserburgh, designer labels must be worn in order to not to be looked down upon by others.
• I came across your website whilst looking for other stuff about the Bloo Toon...I found myself laughin' at all the comments about the Bloo Toon and how it came to be named that way. Maybe theres few and far between that really know why the Bloo Toon was named that way. However my grandfather was a fisherman, and his father before him (going back a heck o' a lot o' generations...far too many than I was taught it school!)...In any case...I wis glad to see that somebody hid mentioned the Bloo "Moggans"...thats what I was told by my father..that everybody used to wear "bloo moggans"...thats why the town was called the "Bloo Toon"....long may the real reason be fought over ...
