The Fishtown of Usan, a single row of 28 cottages, was created in 1822 by local landowner George Keith. A square tower was built as a landmark for shipping and an ice-house and saltpans are reminders of the former salmon fishery and a saltworks which operated between 1794 and 1820. Today all that remains are the tower and the dilapidated ruins of the cottages. Mains of Usan, Angus, Scotland.
