Tania Gardner from Kirkcudbright reflects on her experience of conducting fieldwork:<\/p>\n

‘I have interviewed ten people in Kirkcudbright since the beginning of this project. \u00a0I am always extremely nervous before\u00a0the interview, despite being well prepared with the protocol and the outline of questions I wish to ask.\u00a0I have had to reassure and bolster the confidence of each of them as they are anxious and uncertain of what I could possibly want to know of their life which is of any importance.\u00a0Once the interview is underway I have found that we relax and enjoy the opportunity to “remember “.<\/p>\n

‘Each and every interviewee has said at the end that they have really enjoyed sharing their memories and that other memories have been sparked during the conversation.\u00a0I have been so privileged to hear the stories and to have been trusted with their memories.\u00a0I hope I help them to realise the importance of keeping the next generation informed of their local history through the actual voices of the older generation.\u00a0I certainly have learnt a great deal about “my town” from all of these generous people.’<\/p>\n
