My father was a farmer in New Cumnock by Iain Baird
The end of the nineteenth century was a difficult time for farmers in Scotland. A decade of cold years made it hard to grow crops or feed animals and grain growers faced competition from America after the repeal of the Corn Laws. In these harsh conditions, ordinary families still pursued their lives and loves. My Father Was a Farmer in New Cumnock tells the story of the Baird family and of their joys and struggles on their farm.
Like his Scottish forebears, Iain Baird grew up on a dairy farm, but pursued a very different career as a science teacher. Iain now lives in the Forest of Dean with his wife, enjoying watching the next generations of Bairds growing up.
