Yes, I'm quite often in Fraerburgh - usually only fleetingly, though - whenever Fiona needs the car for some reason and then goes to pick Dean up after school, I frequently tag along. But it's normally more in the vicinity of the Academy [and sometimes the beach] ... although I know what you mean about the town, and it could be doing with a "face lift".
It's a long time ago now - 1958, to be precise - but an uncle of mine was Provost there. He'd married my dad's eldest sister who'd settled in Rosehearty as District Nurse during the war ... after both had previously been widowed. So MY first visit had been back then when it was very much a thriving fishing port.
Small world, eh?
