Scope and Content

History of the Village of Ferryden, containing an account of the Manners and Customs of its inhabitants, and the improvements which have taken place within the last fifty years, by Andrew Douglas. Second edition. Montrose, 1857. Andrew Douglas was the village schoolmaster and the first edition of the book aroused some local controversy. It is mainly a collection of observations of the social life of the fishing community, and at the time was believed to be unflattering. The second edition was perhaps meant to be less critical. /1 Published version. [Photocopy]. /2 Manuscript version. [Photocopy. Pages 135-136, 193-194, 273 are missing].
