History
There is considerable evidence of local habitation by early man in and around St Combs. Somewhat to the southwest lies the Catto Long Barrow and a number of tumuli.
St Combs railway station opened in 1903 and closed in 1965. It was the terminus of a short branch line from Fraserburgh.
St Combs also hosts an annual football tournament which is renowned in the amateur football world as being a breeding ground for fresh new talent. The highlight of this event so far has to be the personal appearance of Michael Van Wijk aka Gladiators Wolf as a guest trophy presenter.
