The Harbourmaster, Dougie and his dug, (Paperback)

<p>The Harbourmaster, Dougie and his dug is a warm, witty and vividly told collection of tales from a small fishing toon on the East Coast of Scotland. Narrated by the Harbourmaster-alongside his sharp-tongued alter ego Dougie and his faithful Border Collie, The Dug-the book captures the humour, hardships and heart of coastal life.</p><p></p><p>Set against the rolling farmland and rugged shores of the East Neuk of Fife, these stories wander through the daily dramas of harbour life: sinking boats, oil slicks, runaway cars, swimming dogs, stubborn fishermen, wandering tourists ("Waffies"), seagulls with attitude, and the endless small battles that keep a harbour running. Beneath the laughter lies a rich seam of history-of herring booms, Highland Clearances, witch trials, smuggling, steam boats and the tough men and women who built their lives around the sea.</p><p></p><p>Written in authentic Scots dialect and bursting with character, this is a celebration of community, resilience and the uniquely Scottish gift for finding humour in hardship. Both affectionate and irreverent, Me Dougie and the Dug is a love letter to working harbours, loyal dogs and the voices in our heads that keep us going.</p>
