From the tiny Seacliff harbour in East Lothian, to PeterheadÕs huge commercial fishing port, the author,(above) takes you around all of ScotlandÕs mainland harbourages, a staggering total of 340. From south-eastern Burnmouth, all the way (anti-clockwise) round to south-western Annan, readers can choose either to dip in and out of various villages and towns, as they wish or, alternatively, can read about differing locales around their origins, customs, fishing methods and superstitions. History, geography, archaeology, sociology, folklore and customs-all have played their roles in ScotlandÕs coastal development. So too did Pict, Roman, Vikings, English warring and Highland Clearances all leave their influences on these harbours. And, in more recent times, the oil industry and more sustainable, renewable energy sources- as the nation continues to diversify its commercial base. A pleasure to research and, hopefully, a pleasure to read, you will learn interesting facts on almost every page of this complete record of ScotlandÕs mainland harbours. 100% of all this books proceeds are being donated to the RNLI, so thank you for your generous support.
