To the Secretary of State for Scotland from the Fishermen of Fraserburgh,
1888
For
some time now we have been thinking about emigration as a way out
of the serious decline of our main industry – the herring fishing.
In no part of the East Coast have the losses been as serious as
in Fraserburgh. It is vital that a scheme of emigration should be
carried out so that the surplus population may avoid inevitable
distress.
