This episode's guests are both closely connected with Fife Historic Buildings Trust: Robert Gibson makes sure everything financial is under close, careful and cheerful control, while volunteer Jim McLeish matches that goodwill and get-on-with-it spirit, in a variety of office tasks. Listen to hear what Jim's interest in maps, and honed research skills has revealed about industries and occupations in Inverkeithing in the nineteenth century. Robert picks up the thread, and gives wonderful first hand accounts of a childhood in Inverkeithing, his parent's work for two of the major local employers, and some colourful local and family details.

Jim recommends (and we share his enthusiasm for) the amazing resources at the National Library of Scotland's specialist Map Library, where there are over 200,000 digitised maps available online, free to anyone. National Library of Scotland - Map Images (nls.uk).
