            GB 249 SOHC 4 · Collection · Original recordings, 1998-2000

            27 interviews with sufferers from asbestos-related disease and/or members of their families. Sound recordings and transcripts (17), transcript only (10), or sound only (1). Also questionnaires.

            Anonymity was assured to all project participants. Only Owen and Margaret Lilley (SOHC 4/14) opted out.

            One recording had been mistakenly aggregated with this oral history project but was found not to relate to asbestos. As a result , there is no interview with the reference number SOHC 4/12.

            Conversation with David McLetchie MSP
            GB 249 SOHC 19 · Dossier · 28 May 2013

            Recording of David Walker, of the Scottish Oral History Centre, in conversation with David McLetchie MSP in 2013. The interview was conducted at David McLetchie's office at the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh.

            This interview was originally intended to be the first of a series of interviews carried out by the Scottish Oral History Centre with the first cohort of MSPs. However, due to David McLetchie's poor health, this interview was undertaken ahead of the planned project. Conducted about two months before his death from cancer at the age of 61, this interview is one of the last interviews which McLetchie gave. Because of time pressures, the interview is approximately 25 mins in length. The larger project with the rest of the cohort of MSPs was never undertaken.

            The interview covers McLetchie's entire life, orientated primarily towards his life in politics.

            The interview covers the following topics:

            • Family background
            • School education
            • Political involvement at Edinburgh University
            • Career in law
            • Conservative Party involvement, including Young Conservatives, and party conferences
            • Standing for election as an MP in 1979
            • Selection process for becoming an MSP in 1999
            • Becoming leader of the Scottish Conservative Party in 1999
            • Running the Conservative 1999 election campaign for the Scottish Parliament
            • Life as a constituency MSP and as a 'list' MSP
            • View on 'consensus' politics of the Scottish Parliament
            • Press coverage of the Scottish Parliament

            GB 249 SOHC 39 · Collection · 2013 - 2014

            Oral history project, conducted in 2013 and 2014 by Andrew Kendrick, Angela Bartie, Moyra Hawthorn and Julie Shaw, researchers at the University of Strathclyde. The project's aim was to record the personal experiences of residential workers and children's social workers who worked with children in residential services in the period 1960 – 1975, exploring their views on the experiences of children and standards, and their reflections on changes over time. 22 people were interviewed.

            The interviewees include house parents, residential care workers, social workers, childcare officers and teachers. They worked in a range of care environments including residential care homes and nurseries, group homes, and List D schools. These were located across Scotland including Edinburgh and the Lothians, Glasgow, Aberdeenshire, Stirlingshire, Ayrshire, Argyll, and Angus.

            Topics covered in the interviews include working roles, daily routines, the backgrounds of the young people coming into care, social and economic conditions at that time, and standards of care within different care home environments. The interviews also discuss child abuse, use of corporal punishment, relationships with colleagues, education, dealing with challenging behaviour, the introduction of the Social Work (Scotland) Act and the children’s hearing system, and thoughts on developments in residential care.
