Description

While canvassing for the Scottish independence referendum in 2014 Neil Findlay made a discovery.

Visiting the home that used to be his grandparents', he was shown a plywood panel where John 'Jock' Findlay, his grandfather, had written his life's tale. This is Jock's story. Jock grew up and grew old in the West Lothian village of Pumpherston - a village dominated by one industry, shale oil mining.

In his own words he describes the good times, and the hard times, of living and working in Pumpherston.

This is a story about a Scottish industry, a village and, most of all, a community.
