This isn't a history of Forfar. Instead it gives readers an
excerpt, a sample, of what life was like on any given day of the
year in a community that has been both a traditional market town
and a major manufacturing centre for linen and jute. There is no
hierarchy in what has been chosen - World Wars are interspersed
with Church socials and cycling events, the affairs of Forfar
Athletic and Strathmore Cricket club, tennis and golf. The facts
and stories all have something to do with the town, and often its
place in national history. Along the way, the reader will probably
guess that the author is particularly interested in football,
cricket, politics and the Great War. The photographs are augmented
by period advertisements from local traders and tradesmen,
illustrating the development of the businesses - and the demands of
their customers - created by the rise of the major industries.
