Memsie sits on the A981 between Fraserburgh and Strichen — a cairn, a scatter of farms and a straight inland road, not a high street and not the A90 dual at Rathen. Mormond Hill sits on your shoulder; Strichen is the next named town west; the Broch is back east toward Fordafourie. DSBM Auto Center Ltd starts from 2 Fordafourie Cottages, Fraserburgh AB43 7UD. A pin here is a short inland run from the coast when the truck is at the yard, not a truck waiting at the cairn. Call 01224 044741 with the registration, whether you are on the A981 or in a steading, and whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes.
A981, the cairn, and farm access.
This road is the Fraserburgh–Strichen–New Deer inland link, not the Peterhead dual. Jobs are a car on the A981 with little verge, a pickup in a close the through-traffic never sees, or a van that died on the Strichen-bound stretch under Mormond. Rathen is a neighbouring pin on the A90 — say which road. Call or send GPS to WhatsApp 07475 722702.
When you call from Memsie
Registration, A981 vs named farm, direction toward Fraserburgh or Strichen, rolls / steers / brakes, and a photo if you are against a dyke or behind a gate. “Just at Memsie” covers the cairn, three farm roads and a mile of A981 — the pin cuts that.
Access and height
No harbour and no industrial estate. Agricultural yards, low sheds and the live A981. A long trailer in a close with no headland means we stage on the A981 and winch out. Soft verges after rain are the usual trap.
Breakdown and accident recovery
24/7 from Fraserburgh: non-starters on the A981, RTC on the Strichen stretch, 4x4s that left the tarmac for a field. Local recovery from the Broch yard, not long-haul.
Booked collection
Both postcodes at quotes.dsbm.uk. Farm collections need a turning note and a photo of the gate.
Honest ETA from Fraserburgh
Minutes inland from Fordafourie if the truck is at the yard. The honest delay is a live vehicle already in Aberdeen or a farm close that needs a smaller unit. Time after the pin.
