Old Burghead, Cummingston and Hopeman

All three villages were planned settlements funded and built by local landowners to stimulate economic activity and thus increase the value of their estates. Fishing was the principal industry so harbour and maritime photographs form a large part of this book. Besides these there are photographs of the streets and social history like Baden-Powell's visit in 1915 and army camps of Seaforths and Gordons. The author ties this all together with very informative captions. For visitors this will act as a great guide to the local history of this area and the previously unseen images in the book will interest the present inhabitants.
