Voices of Torry

“Torry has its own unique personality. It’s always been a very tight community.”

Sue Ranton first came to Torry when she was 19, after leaving Glasgow for work with British Rail. What started as a new and unfamiliar place slowly became home.

Paul Ranton has lived in Torry for over 40 years, and over time, he has found more than just a place to live. He has found home, community and family.

Meet Aki, a Torry resident since 1975.

Voices of Torry began as an intergenerational project, bringing New Scots and young people together to listen to the stories of people in Torry.

“I’ve been living in Torry since 1975.”

He came to Torry through offshore engineering work, but over the years, Torry became much more than a place to live.

In Aki's words, Torry is “a beautiful, welcoming and happy place.”

“I love Torry because it’s a very lively community, but it often gets bad press.”

For George Wood, Torry is more than the stories people hear from the outside. It is a place full of heritage, community spirit.

“I could live anywhere, but I’m still in Torry.”

For Nathi, it comes down to the people.

The passion in the community.
The way people care for one another.
The love that makes this place feel like more than just somewhere to stay.

It was a pleasure to sit down with John Dunn, Chairperson of Torry Heritage Group, for such an insightful conversation.
We spoke about Torry’s heritage, the industries that once shaped the area, life in Torry over the years, and the stories and memories

This past Saturday, we attended Climate Action for Torry, organised by @AbzClimate that brought important conversations right into the heart of Torry.

The event brought community voices to talk not only about climate action, but also about things that matter.

John Dunn spoke about why he loves
Torry, and for him, it always comes back to the people.

He shared how Torry’s history with the sea and fishing
created a strong sense of community spirit and
responsibility.

“I’ve lived here for 40 years, and I love it.”

“Best place ever.”

“I’m with Friends of St Fittick’s Park, and I love Torry.”

Three short sentences.
But behind them is something much bigger.

Torry is a place people remember, laugh about, worry about, and proudly call home

[Voices of Torry @VoicesofTorry]

Every community has stories.

Every community carries something special.

The people.
The memories.
The little moments that shape a place and make it feel like home.

That is what Voices of Torry is here for.

[Voices of Torry @VoicesofTorry]

Every place has a story.

Sometimes it starts in moments like this, just sitting down, listening, learning, and giving people the space to share what they remember.

That’s what makes this really special.
