This publication grew out of the oral history project 'The End of the Shift' which records the memories of workers in Scotland's past industries. We begin with a brief history of industry in Kirkcaldy and the industrial boom of the 19th century, biographical detail of William Main Melville and Robert Burt Brodie. We continue with a history of apprenticeships and their importance to the continued development of business and industry, each section is illustrated with examples from the workers themselves illustrating the conditions, knowledge and experience that they learned their trades under.
