Torry Its History and People Book Aberdeen Author Gordon Bathgate


Information about Aberdeen author Gordon Bathgate who wrote the book Torry - Its History and People and is a Waves FM Peterhead Radio Presenter


In 2006 Gordon Bathgate published a book called Torry - Its History and People. It was a huge success and sold out its first print run of 1500 copies. More editions were printed and the book remains a top seller in Aberdeen bookshops like Waterstones or it can be purchased directly from online bookshop Amazon.

As the title suggests Gordon's 134 paged book is about the area of Torry in Aberdeen throughout the years and narrates tales of some of the well known people and lesser known characters. Torry Its History and People also talks about the days when Torry was a busy fishing village and is illustrated throughout with photographs of Torry and photos of the fisherfolk.

It was published by Girdleness Publishing. Gordon writes part time and his full time job is with Langstane Press. He still remains a Torry loon, living at Girdleness Road.

Aberdeen Lynne Golden Retriever

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.

We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.

The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:

"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."
