A centuries-old cottage, which was revived as a tribute to the north-east’s bygone fishing days, has reopened.
Maggie’s Hoosie at Inverallochy, which dates back to the 1800s, will be open to the public until September.
The property was lovingly restored by proud locals, who saved it from being consigned to the history books after it was earmarked for demolition in the mid-1990s.
The butt and ben was safeguarded as a tribute to Buchan’s bygone fishing days.
It is widely considered to be the best kept of its kind.
Maggie Duthie stayed in the cottage all her life, first with her parents and then with her widowed mother. She died in 1950, aged 83.
Miss Duthie refused to move with the times and had no electricity.
Throughout her working life, she travelled the country with a creel on her back, selling fish.
When she died, her home had an earth floor, box beds and furniture from her early years.
The house has been growing in popularity as a visitor attraction over the years and recently hosted a trip by members of the New Deer Friendship Club.
Unlike other attractions, it receives no funding from the local authority, and is run entirely by volunteers.
Many venues — including the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, the Fraserburgh Heritage Centre and Banff’s Duff House — were recently hit by budget cuts.
The Hoosie is open from Mondays to Thursdays from 2-4pm.
