When Alexander Noble established his boatyard in 1898, he probably
didn't realise he was also establishing a new Noble tradition.
Alexander's yard would soon be handed over to his eldest son
Wilson, who would set up Wilson Noble & Co. to build fishing
boats - although he would branch out into minesweepers when needed
in the Second World War. Meanwhile, second-youngest son James would
break out on his own, thinking that the future of boatbuilding lay
in yachts. Altogether, these companies built almost 400 boats, some
of which are still working today, and would be a fixture on the
Fraserburgh shoreline for nearly a century. Packed with images,
interviews and recollections from the crew, The Noble Boatbuilders
of Fraserburgh is a thoroughly researched tribute to these men and
their boats, and is a fascinating look into an industry that once
peppered our island's shorelines.
