Interviews conducted in 2021 and 2022 with older members of the farming community on their memories and experiences of farming in Ayrshire, Scotland. This project was enabled  with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players for making this possible.

As well as interviews, we have researched the history of 422 farms in the neighbouring parishes of Old Cumnock, New Cumnock, Auchinleck and Ochiltree, many of which no longer exist.

The transcripts can be found https://cumnockhistorygroup.org/ploughing-up-our-past/ along with all our research.
