'Nae fae a learned pen' is a nostalgic look back at life written in the local dialect by Stanley Clark Duncan Robertson in poetic form. Many will recall how life used to be growing up in the last century and how times have maybe not changed as much as we think.
Under the pseudonym of SCARDOGAN, this book has been collated with over 150 various stories of local incidents, work colleagues, social nights out in the community of Banchory-Devenick, plus many other interesting anecdotes relating to Aberdeenshire life and the people themselves.
Born in 1911, and having lived in Chapel of Garioch and then Banchory-Devenick, Stanley was continually scribbling down interesting notes for his own amusement. He himself worked at Inverurie Loco Works and then William Tawse Limited, plus he and his wife owned the local Post Office and Shop and many stories emanate from his working life, and the characters that he encountered.
