Country Bairns: Growing Up, 1900-1930 - Tapa blanda

This work is a record of rural childhood, a glimpse into the lives of children in the Scottish countryside from the turn of the century until the onset of World War II and the great changes after it which were to alter irrevocably life in the Scottish countryside. In their own words the children of crofters from the Western Isles tell their stories beside those of more prosperous Lowland or North-East farmers and farm workers. They tell of their daily life and routines, their relationships with their parents, and their various roles in winning a living from the land.
