Neil Findlay, a Scottish politician, made a significant discovery during the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign. While visiting the home that had belonged to his grandparents, he was shown a plywood panel on which his grandfather, John "Jock Findlay," had written his life story. This is Jock's story, which recounts his experiences growing up and aging in Pumpherston, a West Lothian village dominated by the shale oil mining industry. Jock vividly describes the good times and the hard times of living and working in Pumpherston, providing a unique insight into the Scottish industry, village, and community.
