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.
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.
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.
