villages? |

and died? |
| Interested in Scottish family history?

Then I recommend you read the book, Fisherfolk to Torryfolk,
by Colin
A Milne Designed with the family historian in mind this book describes the
lives of the fishing communities of Kincardineshire. Sources used in the
preparation of this book (some of which are published here for the first time)
include family and private papers, local newspapers, books and many other
sources together giving a unique insight into the lives of coastal villagers
from the perspective of their time - largely untainted by modern
interpretation. Learn about the lives of the local people, their
religious beliefs, local traditions, superstitions, their struggle to prevent starvation, relationships with the local lairds and of course the
desperate fight against the cruel, harsh and unforgiving North Sea.
