In the years following the Second World War, Portlethen was a small farming and fishing community living with the memory of recent danger and hardship. The wartime spirit left a legacy that influenced the lives of everyone, including the children growing up in that environment. Buttercups and Brambles paints a picture of life in Portlethen at that time, seen through the eyes of the children who lived there.
