Roanheads is a residential area of coastal Aberdeenshire, Scotland, located between Peterhead and Buchanhaven.
[2] Two streets in the area are also named Roanheads, although they were likely joined prior to modern construction on Seagate.
It is mentioned in the town's original feu contract as being Peterhead's "commonty and pasturage".
[5] Roanheads takes its name from a pair of headlands a short distance to the northeast,[2] overlooked by Gadie Braes.
In February 1880, the schooner Lady Kilmarnock ran ashore at Roanheads during a voyage from Sunderland to Peterhead.
