Old Photograph Gourdon Scotland
Old photograph of Gourdon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. A coastal Scottish fishing village located South of Inverbervie and north of Johnshaven, with a harbour built in 1820. The surname Gourdon, with variant spellings Gordon and Gourdon, is of locational origin, either from the place of that name in Berwickshire, Scotland, or from Gourdon in Saone-et-Loire, France. The first recorded spelling of the family name Gourdon is shown to be that of Richer de Gourdun, which was dated 1154, in the Records of St. Michael's Church, Kelso. Sir Adam de Gordon was Justiciar of Scotland between 1310 and 1314. He obtained the Lordship of Strathbogie, which he named Huntly circa 1315. Branches of his family have since held the titles of Lord of Strathbogie, Duke of Gordon and Earl and Marquess of Huntly.
