PITTULLIE, a village, in the parish of Pitsligo,
district of Deer, county of Aberdeen, l-i mile (E.) from
Rosehearty; containing 227 inhabitants. This village,
which is situated on the northern coast, is chiefly inhabited
by persons employed in the fisheries, and in the
manufacture of kelp, which was formerly carried on to a
very great extent, though latterly not more than twenty
tons have been annually made. The fishery is prosecuted
with success; and large quantities of herrings, and of
cod, ling, skate, and other white-fish, are taken during
the seasons, for the landing of which the fishermen pay to
the proprietor of the estate £1. 5. per annum. A quay
has been erected here by the Board of Fisheries, for the
accommodation of the boats. There are some remains
of the ancient castle of Pittullie near the coast.
