CATTERLINE, a village, in the parish of Kinneff-and-Catterline,
county of Kincardine, 5 miles (N.
by E.) from Stonehaven; containing 79 inhabitants.
This village is situated on the eastern coast, and chiefly
inhabited by fishers, who have two boats, and take cod,
ling, skate, haddock, and various kinds of shell-fish. A
small harbour has been formed by the erection of a pier,
at the expense of Viscount Arbuthnott, which affords
facilities for the landing of coal, lime, and other necessary
supplies; and from the natural advantages of the
situation, there is great probability of its further extension.
A coast-guard station has also been established
here.
