Description

Burnbanks Village near Aberdeen has a rich and complex history spanning over 200 years. From its heyday in the past to its decline and eventual abandonment, the village's story is one of resilience and community. Author Joe McLeod lived through this transformation, moving into the rebuilt village in 1992 and calling it home ever since. Through his own experiences and extensive research, he has uncovered a wealth of stories about the village's past, including tales of shipwrecks, crime, suicides, cholera outbreaks, train accidents, war casualties, school life, and prisoners of war. The book is brought to life with approximately 240 illustrations that showcase the village through the years. With these stories and images, a fascinating history of Burnbanks Village near Aberdeen comes alive, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of its former residents and their experiences.
