Since the Secretary of State for Scotland became responsible, on the passing of the Fisheries Act, 1955, for assisting works at fishery harbours in Scotland, Exchequer grants amounting to £1,801,307 and loans amounting to £380,097 have been offered for works at 69 harbours.

Details of the schemes under construction or completed each year are given in the Annual Reports on the Fisheries of Scotland presented to Parliament. Before 1955 these Reports gave corresponding information about schemes formerly assisted from the Exchequer on the recommendation of the Development Commission.
