Memories Of Seven Lochs’ Communities: A People’s History

Memories Of Seven Lochs’ Communities: A People’s History’, worked with local residents to capture and share the rich and diverse social history of the Seven Lochs communities. Led by Communities Past & Futures Society and supported by Seven Lochs Wetland Park with funding from National Heritage Lotter Fund, the project trained local residents in recording, archiving and transcribing memories of the people in their community.  They charted the communities’ experiences as the hamlets and villages grew and changed, particularly those communities which accommodated Glasgow’s overspill, and more recently welcomed migrants from many different countries.

To share those memories Communities Past & Futures Society created a website of oral history recordings, written memories and reminiscences; photographs and artwork. This treasure trove of memories preserves and brings to life bring the social history of the area to life for current and future generations.
