Step back in time: Johnshaven

If you were to ask someone to describe a traditional, quaint north-east fishing village they would probably end up telling you all about Johnshaven.

This tranquil spot can be picture perfect, with its still-working harbour – home to lobster boats – and its fishing cottages with traditional pantile roofs.

The village is rich in history, too, dating back to medieval times, a story told in the Benholm and Johnshaven Heritage Museum.
