BIBLIOGRAPHY

Roy Souter: “A Wild and Rocky Coast”

Until recently this book was not available to purchase but was available from Stonehaven Library and from those lucky enough to possess a copy of this invaluable store of Gourdon history. Fortunately it has now reprinted under the auspices of the Maggie Law Maritime Museum with a new Foreword by Roy’s daughter, Elma. Roy Souter died in the autumn of 2013.

John Ritchie: Gourdon – Sea Pie An’ All That : www.gourdon.org.uk

This website, now sadly no longer available, was a valuable resource for Gourdon photos and pictures. It also contained a small selection of poems.
