Having recorded in pen and ink the -"Fishing Boats of Scotland"
which she loves, Gloria Wilson here focusses her attention on the
-Peterhead yard of Richard Irvin & Sons, and the wooden,
cruiser sterned fishing boats for which it became renowned in the
second half of the twentieth century. Almost one hundred of her own
photographs accompany her account of the boats and the people who
made up a distinctive and now disappearing maritime culture. As
Paul Gartside writes in his Foreword: "Gloria Wilson truly belongs
in the tradition of the folklorists-individuals moved initially by
the discovery of beauty in the commonplace who are then compelled
to understand and record what they find... One hopes her example
will spur others to similar effort, for the capturing of culture
and local knowledge before it slips away is always a noble
pursuit."
