Forfar, the county town of Angus, Scotland, is small enough for everyone to know almost everyone else in the town. And Forfar people like to know everything that goes on.
This isn't a history of Forfar. Instead it gives readers an excerpt, a sample, of what life was like on any given day of the year in a community that has been both a traditional market town and a major manufacturing centre for linen and jute. There is no hierarchy in what has been chosen - World Wars are interspersed with Church socials and cycling events, the affairs of Forfar Athletic and Strathmore Cricket club, tennis and golf. The facts and stories all have something to do with the town, and often its place in national history. Along the way, the reader will probably guess that the author is particularly interested in football, cricket, politics and the Great War. The photographs are augmented by period advertisements from local traders and tradesmen, illustrating the development of the businesses - and the demands of their customers - created by the rise of the major industries.

David W. Potter, the author of Kirkcaldy on This Day, Dunfermline Athletic on This Day, East Fife On This Day, Forfar Athletic On This Day, and Raith Rovers On This Day, is a Scottish sports writer who has published more than 20 books on Scottish football and cricket.
