Holborn Head Lighthouse was built where it could guide shipping into
Scrabster in 1862, by the Stevenson family. Thurso was reached by the Highland Railway in
1874, and the railway station was linked to Scrabster by a service of
horse-drawn omnibuses. Better harbour facilities led to boom times for the
area's flagstone industry, which had quarries at Scrabster and Holborn
Head. The 1900s saw a series of significant expansions to the harbour at
Scrabster. A new roll-on roll-off terminus was build to service the Orkney
ferry, and at various times there were also scheduled services calling here
providing links to Iceland and the Faroe islands. Scrabster also became an
important fishing port, especially during the 1990s following the completion
of another major expansion to the harbour and a new fish market. Since then it
has been the norm for large quantities of fish to be landed here by boats of
various nationalities before being quickly loaded onto refrigerated trucks
which then head south to markets as far away as Spain.
