The Pynours: Historical Notes on an Ancient Aberdeen Craft (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the history of the Pynours, a group of able-bodied, hard-working individuals who served as the earliest cognomen for what we now know as the Shore Porters Society. The Pynours played a crucial role in the bustling port of Aberdeen, handling the import and export of merchandise under the supervision of the Alderman and Council of the Burgh. The author takes readers on a journey through time, exploring the society's regulations, challenges, and contributions to the city's commercial success. From their humble beginnings as burden bearers to their eventual transformation into a respected and organized craft, the Pynours left an enduring mark on Aberdeen's maritime heritage. This book not only delves into the Pynours' historical significance but also examines their broader role within the social and economic fabric of medieval Scotland.
