Here at Portlethen Library, we have received copy of this book from the author; Elizabeth A Dodds, which will be of real interest to any local history buffs. It's available for loan and can be found in our "Heritage Corner".

Our current display in the museum pop-up case is on whaling. Come in and see it for yourselves! Remember we are on Bruntland Road at the front of the academy building.

Current display in Portlethen Library - come in and have a look!

An opportunity for you to ask questions about the proposed council budget cuts in February.

Thank you to Jacqui Cochrane for sharing this photo showing Jim Fraser with his boat, The Spray at Downies Shore. Also in the picture is Ian Steven of Wairds Farm. The boat itself was bought from Derek MacKenzie in Newtonhill for £30. (1960)

That's us now over 500 likes! Remember, this is your page. If you have any old photos of Portlethen that you'd like to share, just bring them into me at the library and we'll upload them with a wee blurb. Happy Easter folks - Carol :) 🐰

Please remember that there is a permanent display area in the library celebrating our local history. These displays are changed regularly and are a real joy to look at. If you haven't been along to see The Heritage Corner yet, you're missing out!!! Carol Mitchell (librarian) 😀😇
