| Scope & content | In The Scottish Country Miller, Enid Gauldie discusses in detail the origins of milling, the social context of the miller, as well as the technical aspects of the industry. Her research is based not only on a wide variety of written records (including those from milling companies, local parishes and engineering firms), but also extensive fieldwork, such as interviews with those who worked, or whose families worked, as millers in the days when millers were still of key significance in the rural economy. |
