A to Z

Latheronwheel

 LATHERONWHEEL
The village was set up in 1835 by Captain Robert Dunbar a landowner.  A single street leads to the small harbour.  A single span bridge from 1726 still survives but carries no traffic now. Up to 50 boats used this harbour at the height of the great herring boom.
