Buckie Fishwives Path

'This right of way over Addie Hill has evidently been in use for very many years by the general public in a two-way traffic between Keith or Newmill and Buckie, and the places intermediate. Indeed the very name of the route commemorates the fishwives of Buckie who travelled this way to Keith, carrying baskets of fish. The women could be travelling over 20 miles per day and fully loaded their baskets would weigh 40lb. Mary Jane Milne, the last creel woman, starting at the age of 13 or 14 worked until the mid 1950s, retiring at the age of 73.'
