The poem named below was missed initially

A Buckie Romance Gramin Jan 8 1925 P5 C5

While every effort has been made to copy the title of every poem that was found in the local

paper over the past 100 years, that is from 1907 onwards, together with the exact date of the

entry, a slip here and there could have been made . If the entry should not be found at the date

listed it would be advisable to check the edition of the Banffshire Advertiser before and after.
