In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Burnhaven like this:
Burnhaven, a fishing village in Peterhead parish, Aberdeenshire, on the NW side of Sandford Bay, 1¾ mile SSW of Peterhead town. It is of modern origin; was erected by George Mudie, Esq. of Meethill; and has a public school and a small harbour. The school, with accommodation for 130 children, had (1879) a day and evening average attendance of 93 and 16, and grants of £73,9s. and £5,4s. The harbour is suited chiefly for fishing boats, and has a landing-place constructed at a cost of about £300.
