How often does one get to a community of six hundred units living out their lives on boats? Not that often, if thing go the way their going, with fisheries cropping up all around the harbour, this particular specimen wont last very long either. Catch it quick before it just isn’t the same.

Aberdeen is an old traditional fishing village, which is hard to find in any other parts of the world. In Aberdeen, modernity meets tradition with skyscrapers overlooking a community living on traditional junks. If you are lucky, warm-hearted fishers would invite you onto their dwellings, from where you can glimpse the life of the boat-people. Pretty much everyone fishes, so why don’t you try too?
