About this listen

Shelagh was born and brought up in Pitt Street, Edinburgh, which is now the north part of Dundas Street. It was an area ful of tenements, shops and industry. We hear about Nan McKenzies's grocer shop, watching the dancing at the Ross bandstand in Princes Street Gardens. The dangers of jiving at the Palais, when your partner forgets to warn you he's about to hurl you over his shoulder. Her time at Ferranti as an engineer. It an episode full of laughter.
