Podcast: History of Pitlochry Station Bookshop
Our volunteers past and present all have a story to tell which feed into the history of Pitlochry Station Bookshop. Twelve of these have been captured in a series of podcasts.
​
The interviews are a fascinating account of how a small community enterprise for charity was established and how different people contributed their experience for the benefit of others.
​
Thanks go to Bookshop volunteer, Viv Cree, whose idea this was and who conducted the interviews and to Heartland FM for technical support.
