Following on from the bestselling Hidden Aberdeen, Fiona-Jane Brown
now presents a brand new volume, Hidden Aberdeenshire: The Coast,
exploring the rich history and the most fascinating, quirky stories
from the windswept lands beside the North Sea. There's the story of
James Keith, brother of the 10th Earl or Marischal, whose statue
stands in Peterhead - but few know why; Captain Gray's House, where
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle took up a post as ship's surgeon on a whaler
owned by one of the most successful whaling captains of the
nineteenth century; the tale of the Frasers, the family who lost
their castle and generations later reclaimed it; the mystery of the
university that never was; plus many more. Hidden Aberdeenshire:
The Coast is a fascinating and entertaining collection of forgotten
history and anecdotes from Scotland's North-East, pieced together
by historian Dr Fiona-Jane Brown.
