The statue commemorates the fisher wives of Peterhead whose contribution to the work of their men was of enormous importance to the fishing industry; it was the women who baited the hooks, gutted the fish and sold it on long rounds inland, on foot. It is cast in bronze and is by Andy Scott. Peter James Buchan named it after his ancestress.
