Interview with George Sutherland, a one time convener of Fraserburgh Harbour, in which he talks about his early life in the fishing industry and fishing out of various ports. The family originally from Portsoy, didn’t fish so often from the harbour there on the account of it being tidal, instead often using Fraserburgh as a base.

In the clip he talks about changes in the industry over the years and how changing trawling and netting methods impacted on stocks and places in which fish could be found and caught.
