Our Lady Star of the Sea and St Drostan's RC church, Fraserburgh
The church dates from 1895 and lies on an approximate north-south orientation at the junction of Commerce Street and Lodge Walk. Just visible to the right is the presbytery. St Drostan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drostan ) was a companion of St Columba and is thought to have been active in Aberdeenshire in the late 6th Century.

Main road through town
The A90 is quiet on a Sunday afternoon. This important trunk road, which runs from Edinburgh to Fraserburgh (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A90_road ), ends at the junction with the A98 in the distance.

Bingo!
Bingo hall on Mid Street. The 1925 OS 25-inch map shows the building to be a cinema. In the right background is the almost new Fraserburgh United Reformed church, erected after the previous church was destroyed in an arson attack in 2000.

Former Custom House
Formerly occupied by a bank branch, this was built in about 1820/1835 'in the style of Archibald Simpson'. See https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/apex/f?p=1505:300:::::VIEWTYPE,VIEWREF:designation,LB31873 for some additional details. We wondered whether the curved wall on the pavement corner which conceals the steps up to, and obstructs the view of, the main entrance, was original, or whether it had been added later as a nod to early 'elfansafety'. The ground floor room, which now showcases properties for sale, has elaborate plaster cornices and pillars with Corinthian capitals.
