| This website is dedicated to the remarkable village of Johnshaven and the surrounding area of Benholm.
|

Set on the picturesque coastal plains of the Mearns around 7 miles north of Montrose just off the A92, the charming fishing village of Johnshaven attracts visitors all year round.
Home of the nationally acclaimed Fish Festival, Johnshaven is the perfect location from which to launch your holiday adventures in the North East of Scotland.
The 2013 Fish Festival will be held on Saturday 10th August.

The Johnshaven and Benholm area is rich in maritime heritage and continues to support a successful and internationally recognised shellfish industry.

I am currently working on a little project - trying to recreate the Benholm of long ago and am concentrating at the moment on the BURN OF BENHOLM/BURNSIDE, the HAUGHS OF BENHOLM and the vanished Benholm farms of CRAIGSTACK, WHITEFIELD, COWFORD and TEMPLE.
I would welcome any information on those locations. Who lived there, when they ceased to be independent farms, when the buildings were finally demolished. In fact anything at all.
Photos would also be of great help.
