These personal recollections of their working lives by eight Scots women farm workers were recorded in interviews in 1997-98 by the Scottish Working People's History Trust. At the time of the interviews the respective ages of the eight women ranged from 82 to 93. All of them retained clear recollections of their working years on farms in the south-east of Scotland, as well as other aspects of their lives, including their housing, educational and recreational experiences. Their memories appear here in edited form, but in their own spoken words.

For almost 150 years until the late twentieth century French Onion Johnnies (or Ingan Johnnies, as they were usually known north of the Border) were a familiar group of seasonal immigrant workers in cities and towns throughout Scotland, and indeed Britain. At the beginning of the twenty-first century only one Johnny, so far as is known, continues to work in Scotland.He and the only eight known surviving Johnnies (or seven Johnnies and one Onion 'Jenny') who worked in Scotland at one time or another between the 1920s and the 1970s present in this book their spoken recollections of their working lives.These recollections are unique insights into the very hard working lives of the Johnnies in Scotland, about whom virtually nothing in any detail has ever been published before.

Mungo Mackay and the Green Table flourished not in the middle ages, but in the first half of the 20th century. Mackay, as agent and general manager of the Lothian Coal Company, ran a veritable reign of terror from the 1890s until his retirement and death on the eve of World War II. His domination was not confined to the miners at their work, for most of the Lothian Coal Company's miners and their families lived in the Company's tied houses at Newtongrange and Rosewell, and the threat of eviction was ever present. Seated at his famous Green Table, Mackay wielded a power so extensive and enduring that even today there is a saying among some of the older residents at Newtongrange: "Mungo's no' deid yet". This book is part of the "Flashbacks" oral history series. What it meant to live and work under the regime of Mungo Mackay is told in first-hand recollections by the miners themselves. Their memories span conditions of labour, wages and working hours, safety, housing, health and sickness, poverty, diet, mining trade unionism, religion, strikes, sports and the isolation but strong sense of community of the mining villages.
