The voices expressed through this book originate from across the length of Scotland, from St Kilda to Kintyre, harnessing what Neat calls in his Preface ‘the peculiar and powerful force’ of memory. Their stories are funny, intriguing and moving, and the accompanying personal photographs provide illuminating insights into a Scotland long forgotten.
Together with its companion volume ’The Highlands and East Coast’, this volume forms a unique picture of Scotland’s lost communities through the experiences of those who either grew up in them, or whose roots are inextricably connected with them. The result is a fascinating record of Scotland on the very edge of memory. |
