McPirates!

Ive just started working for the museum service in Aberdeen and thought this might be of interest, an event we are putting on this weekend.

It's not so much the event but the info in the press release about the amount of havoc pirates were causing to Aberdeen shipping at the start of the Glory period...in the days before Aberdeen ships did much more than coastal shipping...so it was Aberdeenshire pirates at work...

...maybe instead of Dunkirk pirates we need a few Tartan Pirates...
