The recollections, recorded in interviews in Brittany and at Leith in 1999 by the Scottish Working People's History Trust, provide a fascinating insight into the lives and experience of those whose livelihood and way of life have vanished forever. It paints a poignant picture of the past and a way of life about nothing in any detail has ever been published before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiscover the story of Scotland's beloved Onion Johnnies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExplore the seasonal French traders who became a familiar sight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngage with a charming and little-known piece of social history\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRead another celebrated title from Origin - an imprint of Birlinn Ltd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- Reviews --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'A meticulous approach to recording their stories, packed with fine detail of the lives, incidents and thoughts'\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe Herald\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nIan MacDougall, a long-standing research worker of the Scottish Working People's History Trust, played a pivotal role in recording working people's lives and publishing their stories.
