Description
Pickers came from near and far year after year - and from a variety of backgrounds - for the berry-picking season.
For local people, adults and children, it was an opportunity to supplement the family income; Glasgow folk combined it with a holiday.
For the Scottish Traveller community it was an annual opportunity to meet up with friends and family, and forge new relationships. Roger Leitch encouraged many of those local berry pickers to share their recollections for this book - which is published at a time of political change with challenges for the soft fruit cultivation business.
He also interviewed workers in other seasonal employments such as potato picking and ghillieing.
