PhD thesis on the historical geography of farming in West Central Scotland. Through in-depth primary research on a small set of family labour farms, and the families associated with them, the thesis takes a grassroots approach to exploring the pattern of life on the farms of the area, with particular regard to gender relations. The survival of such farms, contrary to certain theoretical Marxist expectations, is investigated, along with the resilience of the farms during the period of 'The great agricultural depression'.
