Invernettie or Brickwork Bay, a bay of Peterhead parish, NE Aberdeenshire, between Peterhead town and Burnhaven village. Crescental in form, it measures 9 furlongs across the entrance, and 6 thence to its innermost recess. A brick-work adjoining the bay, ¾ mile SSW of Peterhead, has been in operation since the latter part of last century; produces tiles and bricks of excellent quality, from a bed of clay worked to a great depth; and exports large quantities of the bricks from a small contiguous harbour. The Mills of Invernettie and Invernettie Distillery stand 1½ mile SSW of the town; and the mills have such a number of wheels of various shapes and sizes as to form a striking scene.—Ord. Sur., sh. 87, 1876.
