The harbour built at Portsoy in 1692 was a vast breakwater on the seaward side and a number of quays. Large stones were set vertically as it was said this made them less likely to be washed away by the sea. The Old Harbour can still be seen today and is mostly the harbour that was built in 1692.
Portsoy’s first harbour was considered to be the safest in the North East, which meant that it had a thriving trade with both England and the Continent.
