A History of Fortrose, by Joan Macintosh

Fortrose Centennial book (1976)

Toe Toes riding the Toi Tois

Soft cover, scanned and reprinted from original hard cover book.

When a local committee formed to organise the 100th celebrations of the Fortrose school approached Joan Macintosh to write a Centennial book for them, they had no idea how much history was connected with this southern region.

When given the official go-ahead in February 1974, the author unfolded a fascinating account of the settlement from 1834 to the present day. Because people are such a vital part of any district history, Joan Macintosh undertook the time consuming task of researching the families of Fortrose, and an extensive and absorbing section is included here.

The book is well illustrated with old photographs of people, places and events, including colour plates. With authentic anecdote reliving the details of development of societies, of local boards and general affairs, the story of Fortrose becomes an intensely interesting book for all readers.
