I worked at the ASCO base in Peterhead Harbour in 1989 and can remember frequent gales that year. On one occasion [may have been the 13th Feb as Peterhead is only just down the road from the Broch] I remember the water going right over the breakwater. Not unusual in an Easterly but this time it was from a Westerly gale pushing the water over from the sheltered Peterhead Bay and not from the open sea. Either in 1989 ot 1990 there were gales recorded on something like 20+ consecutive days in Fraserburgh if I remember rightly.
