Scotland’s Land Girls: Breeches, Bombers and Backaches (Flashbacks)

There is a growing recognition of the contribution of those who served in the Scottish Women’s Land Army (SWLA), giving vital service at a time of national emergency. This is the first book specifically covering the experiences of the SWLA Girls, told in their own words. Individual circumstances meant that each Girl had a different war; in these lively accounts we hear of tearful goodbyes to parents and childhood, of joyful encounters with Royalty and cocktails, and of hard physical work down on the farm – from sowing to harvesting, calving to shearing.
