'Fittick’s Farewell: Tales of Fittick and Torry'

The recent history of this fishing settlement on the edge of Aberdeen and the North Sea brings it to life in this collection of reminiscences and short stories, bracketed with more tales of the missionary St. Fittick and the Blessed Well, the ancient origins of the place nestled in the Bay of Nigg.

'Fittick, Fisher of Men'

A tale of the 7th century of Fittick, a young man, following in the footsteps of Colman and Machar, to bring news of Christ to Scotland. Shipwrecked on the voyage, and washed on to the shores of north-east Scotland, he has no idea how he will be received, or what challenges he will face.

Author Beatrice Hale grew up inspired by her family history and the rich community of Torry, a fishing village on the outskirts of Aberdeen. Now settled in Dunedin she has time to share stories of adventure for all ages drawn from scintillating fragments of that history.
