Peterhead harbour

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Scotland · Europe · approx. 57.51, -1.78 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1868 Ordnance Survey town plan era

What turns up: Great whaling and herring-port refuse: stoneware ginger-beer bottles, aerated-water and soda bottles from Peterhead bottlers, black-glass whisky, rum and ale bottles, Codd and Hamilton sodas, ships' glass and clay pipes around the old harbours; heavy fishing-era dump material in the harbour mud.

Access: Gray area.

Under Scots bona vacantia and Treasure Trove ALL finds of any age can be Crown property and MUST be reported to the Treasure Trove Unit at the Crown Office, stricter than England's law. The harbour foreshore is Crown Estate Scotland or harbour-authority land, so permission is required to search.
