Shownotes

Since we first aired this wonderful interview with Willie Logan from East Lothian, the 91-year old East Lothian farmer has been adopted as a 'poster boy' for RHASS's new 240 Years of Stories campaign.

240 Years of Stories aims to highlight and explore people's tales from living and working in the agricultural community. We will be working with RHASS through our OnRECORD Memories initiative which focuses on recording stories and memories from rural Scotland.

In this episode, Willie shares memories of farming, horses and families, from his 91 years (so far!) living and working in Scottish agriculture.

Get in touch if you’d like us to record with one of your family members, a long-serving staff member, or anyone else with a great story to tell or a voice to treasure.

Those wishing to share other rural stories with RHASS are encouraged to get in touch at stories@rhass.org.uk

Those looking to record private stories and memories from family members, outside of this project, can find out more at www.onrecordmemories.co.uk
