Fraserburgh stands at the very corner of the Buchan coast, where the A90 ends and the A98 turns west along the Moray Firth towards Banff. It is a working fishing port, particularly associated with shellfish and pelagic vessels, and the harbour is ringed by processors, net stores, engineers and boat repair yards.
The town is a long way from the nearest city, and that shapes how sweeping is arranged. Most requests come from harbour-related businesses wanting yards and access roads cleaned, from housing and commercial building on the southern side of town, and from surfacing contractors working on the coastal and inland routes.
Coverage around Fraserburgh and the Broch coast
Sandhaven, Rosehearty, Inverallochy, Cairnbulg, St Combs, Rathen and Strichen are covered with Fraserburgh. Aberdeen is around forty miles away and Peterhead less than twenty, so a sweeper will have a significant journey. Short-notice hire is difficult here, and combining several jobs into one full shift is usually the sensible approach.
