The great industries that made modern Scotland are rooted in traditional skills, ingenuity and natural inventiveness that helped shape the world of engineering and technology. This book by folklorist Margaret Bennett is based on an oral history project recording the working practices, conditions and experiences of retired engineers.
PENning, the Writers in Exile Committee’s biannual online journal, presents work by Scottish PEN’s member-writers alongside writing from people living in Scotland who are from other parts of the world.
