CAIRNBULG HARBOUR
The harbour at Cairnbulg was
initially constructed in the 1920’s as a single pier on the
seaward side of the present configuration. The land for the
project was donated by the then land owner, Sir John Duthie for
the fishermen of the area to have a safe haven for their fishing
activities. However funds ran out before they could build the
finished project.
This remained the status quo until the 1980’s when a new committee was formed and under the stewardship of Andrew May (Sonnie’s Andra) the existing pier was extended and a West pier was constructed to give the basic shape seen today which could berth 16 to 20 boats under tidal conditions. This was funded by a SDA grant.
As time progressed and the need for
additional berths 
became
evident moves were undertaken to have the present structure
modernised. The Committee secured Scottish Charity status which
eventually lead to Lottery, LEADER
funding to develop the facility by deepening the basin
and installing a pontoon system which would add 20 more berths.
The completed project can be seen in the below photograph.
