The Kiln

Recorded 9 years ago

About this recording

Margaret Mackay wrote an award winning short story based on the conversion of an early 20th Century kiln into a modern home. She wrote about the kilns being used in the fishing industry in Wick and gives almost a human quality to the building, describing how it was rescued from decay. As Margaret was keen to capture a Wick voice narrating the story Shona Sutherland agreed to record the story.
