Cove Bay history
Cove Bay is situated to the east of the ancient Causey Mounth, which road was built on high ground to make passable this only available medieval route from coastal points south from Stonehaven to Aberdeen. The ancient trackway specifically connected the River Dee crossing (where the Bridge of Dee is located) via Portlethen Moss, Muchalls Castle and Stonehaven.
Industry
Cove has been noted for industries such as granite, which was quarried in several locations to the south of the village. Owing to its close-grained texture, Cove granite was one of the hardest in north-east Scotland and proved highly resistant to frost.
Fishing
Cove was built around the fishing industry, with the boats berthed on a shingle beach. In the mid 19th century the fishing was at its height, which included cod, haddock, salmon, herring and shellfish. At the end of World War I the fishing began to decline, with only a couple of boats pursuing shellfish on a part-time basis.
