Cuthbert Graham (25 August 1911 - 22 September 1987) was a journalist, historian, author and poet known for his works about the topography of Scotland and his column in The Press and Journal as the "North-east Muse".[1] Graham wrote two volumes in Robert Hale's Portrait of series. His Aberdeen and Deeside was described by The Times as without gush over his native city of Aberdeen and having a workmanlike and unfussy text.[2] After his death, a memorial service was held at St. Machar's Cathedral, Aberdeen.[3]
