About this listen

This week, Jackie is on the trail of spittle-makers, quarrel-pickers, yowlers and the other traditional craftspeople whose skills have vanished from mainstream life. Alongside academic, broadcaster and author James Fox, Jackie unpicks stories of handmade crafts and the social history behind their disappearance.

James’s book, Craftland, documents many of these arts and trades right across Britain. It’s available online and in book shops now.

You can find more about the places in the National Trust for Scotland’s care with links to industry here.
