BURNHAVEN, a village, in the parish of Peterhead,
district of Buchan, county of Aberdeen, 2 miles
(S.) from Peterhead. This village is situated near the
mouth of the burn of Invernettie, from which it has its
name; and consists of about thirty houses, erected by
George Mudie, Esq., and inhabited by fishermen, who
employ seven boats in the herring-fishery. The houses
are on the acclivity of the sea-shore, nearly level with
the high-water mark. A small but convenient harbour
for the fishing boats has been constructed by Mr. Mudie,
at an expense of £300.
