Howe o' Buchan House, Peterhead
This imposing Category C(s) Listed Building stands beside the roundabout at the Howe o' Buchan on the outskirts of Peterhead. From an inscription above a door Image, it would appear that this house may date from at least 1711, although RCAHMS's CANMORE website http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/21251/details/howe+o+buchan/ has it dating from the 1800's. Research would tend to indicate that the land at Howe O' Buchan was purchased by one Thomas Walker, whose family were originally occupied Waulkmill, a small wool mill and croft on the Aberdour shore that had been owned by the family since about 1720. So unless the house was already there when the land was purchased, the date of 1711 would appear incorrect as a date of building.

Inscription above Howe O' Buchan House
Confusingly, this date of 1711 seems to be unrelated to the age of the house.

Unidentified Brick Structure at the Howe o' Buchan
This brick built structure at the western roundabout entry into Peterhead has been incorrectly classified as a two storey pillbox in the Defence of Britain database. Closer examination shows that the "embrasures" are in actual fact for ventilation. So whilst it is as yet unclear what the building was for, it most certainly was never a pillbox.
As ever, if anyone has an idea about this one, I'd be keen to hear from you.
