The "Auld Weavers' Drive", was one of the ways that Dunfermline showed it's respect to the handful of handloom weavers who continued to ply their trade after the introduction of power looms. This annual 'treat' was enjoyed by all the old men in their 60's, 70's and 80's and a good day had by all, including the odd nip and fine cigar. This book starts with reminiscences from 1900 up until 1909, when the invitation was extended to the old women handloom weavers as well.
