Roanheads

Roanheads is a residential area of coastal Aberdeenshire, Scotland, located between Peterhead and Buchanhaven. Laid out by 1771, now the oldest part of the town, it was established after Peterhead's fishermen settled there due to its position on the northeastern shoulder of the town's peninsula, 0.75 miles north of today's town centre.
