History Press, Built by Nobles of Girvan
Built by Nobles of Girvan gives a wonderfully comprehensive account of one of Scotland’s finest boat-building companies Alexander Noble & Sons Ltd of Girvan from its founding in 1946 to the present-day. The phrase ‘Built by Nobles of Girvan’ is synonymous with the construction of finely crafted wooden fishing vessels in particular some wonderfully elegant and successful ring netters. Yet to think of the yard as a builder of ringers only is to deny it its versatility.
Price: £16.99
History Press, Fishing boats of Campbeltown Shipyard
The boatbuilding industry has always had its ups and downs, reflecting the changing fortunes of the fishing industry. This work offers an account of the Campbeltown Shipyard, that diversified its boatbuilding activities in order to survive but competition from foreign yards moved into a new dimension from the mid-nineties onwards.
Price: £14.99
History Press, Scottish Fishing Boats: A New Look
A companion to his successful first book, James Pottinger’s new volume Scottish Fishing Boats: A New Look looks farther afield, and covers the fishing history of the areas of north-east Scotland, the west coast and Shetland. Topics covered include miscellaneous types from today and the past, pursers, smaller craft, visiting boats and boats which were lost to sea or have been scrapped. A number of older boats are included to illustrate shapes and designs, which are often held to retain a measure of character and individuality, perhaps not as prevalent today.
Price: £14.99
History Press, Thorfinn The Mighty
Surrounded by a Nordic world that spanned from Spitzbergen to the Mediterranean, and from Russia to North America, medieval Orkney was much more than just a remote group of islands off the north coast of Scotland. To rule Orkney was to control a key intersection along the Viking western sea route. Of all Orkney's early rulers, none understood this better than Earl Thorfinn the Mighty Sigurdarson. Descended from Norse chieftains and Scottish kings, Thorfinn was born into a competitive world undergoing great change. Old concepts of governing through brute strength were being supplanted by developing ideas of statesmanship. In the midst of this evolution, Thorfinn became its prime agent, evolving from avaricious Viking into just-minded Christian prince. After his transformation, he worked to give Orkney a permanent Christian temper and good governance. As Thorfinn evolved, so too did Orkney, taking its place in the medieval west. Authoritative and accessible, Thorfinn the Mighty is the first history to focus on the life and times of this important figure.
Price: £17.99
