The Waterlines Heritage Centre at Lybster harbour celebrates the 19th and early 20th century fishing industry when Lybster was a busy fishing port, especially during the boom in the herring fishing with over 100 herring boats using the Lybster harbour.

Waterlines has a cafe and small shop as well as the displays and exhibits around the north-east fishing industry.

Today the harbour has local fishing boats, laying creels and fishing along the coastline for lobster, crab, prawn and fish.
