Product Description
Sheila Scott was portrayed by the press during the 1960s and early 1970s as a glamorous and courageous record breaking heroine of the air, one of the few pioneering pilots of her generation. Although this was an accurate reflection of her achievements, there were other aspects of her extraordinary personality and experience which remained hidden. Between 1965 and 1972, she captured the public imagination with long distance solo flights, performing solitary feats of endurance where no solo pilot had flown before, as the first person to fly alone around the world on the Equator and over the North Pole. This narrative is told by Judy Lomax, who had Sheila Scott's full co-operation before her death. Previous books by the author include "Women of the Air" and "Hanna Reitsch". ... Read more

Product Description
It is doubtful that the appearance of a town has changed as much as Galashiels has in the last ten years. Once a town at the centre of the Scottish Tweed and Woollen industry, very few reminders of that age can now be seen. Gala is now a town which concentrates mainly on retail and service industries. However, Galaleans continue to be very proud of their history and roots with many returning annually to the town to celebrate the Braw Lads Day.With the former Scottish College of Textiles now a university campus a new generation of students worldwide come to Galashiels, continuing to be educated in the textile and clothing industry. The images in the book trace the changes that have taken place in Galashiels over a number of years and will hopefully evoke memories for many. It is also a record of what is happening now within this Scottish Borders town. ... Read more
