Whithorn by Julia Muir Watt

Between 2012 and 2013 Julia Muir Watt interviewed twenty-nine individuals from Whithorn and the Machars about their memories. From those interviewed we learn what it was like to grow up, to go to school, and to work and to play in Whithorn before and after the Second World War. Co-published with the European Ethnological Research Centre.

' … presents a fascinating picture of life in a particular part of Scotland, and the transcripts and extracts from oral testimonies included offer insight into a number of themes and issues about the experiences of the inhabitants of the area, relevant to a range of existing academic work … a welcome addition to the body of research examining 20th-century Scotland' Scottish Archives
