Peterhead (; Ceann Phàdraig, Peterheid ) is a town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is Aberdeenshire's biggest settlement, with a population of 18,537 at the 2011 Census. It is the biggest fishing port in the United Kingdom for total landings by UK vessels, according to a 2019 survey.
Peterhead sits at the easternmost point in mainland Scotland. It is often referred to as The Blue Toun (locally spelled "The Bloo Toon") and its natives are known as Bloo Touners. They are also referred to as blue mogganers (locally spelled "bloomogganners"), supposedly from the blue worsted moggans or stockings that the fishermen originally wore.
Expansion of the town's landfill led to archaeological work in 2002 and 2003 by CFA Archaeology. The archaeologists investigations found a clearance cairn with a Late Bronze Age stone tools, a burial cairn with Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age stone tools and Beaker ceramics. They also found some stone tools dating to the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic which indicated that people have been living in the Peterhead area for over five thousand years.
