The objectives of Peterhead Scottish
Week have changed over the years. When it was initially set up in
1961 it was to promote Scottish produce. Originally there were
several Scottish Weeks all over Scotland. Peterhead now boasts the
last surviving Scottish Week.
More recently Peterhead Scottish Week
has been the focus of tourism and entertainment for one whole week
during July. The main objectives can be summarised as follows:
To promote the Town and Businesses
of Peterhead in the local area and throughout the world
To give the people of Peterhead, who
are amongst the best in the World, something to look forward to
and enjoy
To attract visitors and tourists to
the town
To create a community spirit and a
"feel good factor" for local people
