The Pynours: Historical Notes On An Ancient Aberdeen Craft is a book written by John Bulloch and first published in 1887. The book is a comprehensive study of the history and practices of the pynours, a group of craftsmen who worked in the city of Aberdeen in Scotland during the medieval period. The pynours were skilled artisans who specialized in the production of wooden barrels, casks, and other containers used for storage and transportation of goods. The book provides an in-depth look at the techniques and tools used by the pynours, as well as their social and economic status within the community. It also explores the role of the pynours in the wider context of the Scottish economy and the development of trade and commerce in the region. Throughout the book, Bulloch draws on a range of historical sources, including official records, legal documents, and personal accounts, to provide a detailed and engaging account of this fascinating craft. The book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of Aberdeen, Scottish crafts, or the development of trade and commerce in medieval Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
