Alistair Moffat: To See Ourselves
Alistair Moffat reflects on Scotland’s dramatic social changes in one lifetime—from housing to TV to sport—in this new kind of history.
Harmony Garden and Orchard, St Mary's Road, Melrose, TD6 9LJ
Information
Alistair Instead of delving far back into the darkness of the deep past, Alistair tells a story of the here and now, of how in his lifetime Scotland has changed out of all recognition, immeasurably faster than ever before. Most of them beginning in Kelso in the 1950s, chapters deal with the housing revolution, how changes in shopping habits changed lives, the decline of religion, amateur sport, newspapers, the loss of the British Empire, the coming of television and much else. For Alistair it is a new departure, a different sort of history: one in which we have all taken part.Moffat: To See Ourselves
