This page gathers together some of the miscellaneous detail relating to the Coull family of Banffshire and Northeast Scotland, including records found which may or may not be related to the family of the website author. They are lodged here for future reference and until any firm direct family links can place them in the correct ‘suite’ of pages.
They are not in chronological order. Coull is a familiar name to the Northeast as it is throughout Scotland. The Coulls in coastal towns and villages such as Buckie and Macduff were traditionally families of fishermen, and those who weren’t were involved mostly in farming, in Banffshire and Aberdeenshire. Tailoring, shoemaking and small businesses such as retail grocer and masonry work, as well as domestic service and serving in the armed forces kept others in a living.
