Lochmaben is situated in the 'debatable lands' on the main route
into Scotland north from Carlisle. The area has historic
connections to the family of Robert the Bruce. This close-knit
community has lost several of its basic amenities in recent years
but the recent community buyout of the Castle Loch has been a great
success with many volunteers coming together. 'Lochmaben Voices', a
project to collect the memories of the town's residents by
recording interviews with them, was set up in 2011. The eldest
interviewee was born in the 1920s and the youngest in 2000s and the
transcriptions reflect the various accents heard in the region. For
this book, three broad categories were identified: Lochmaben, both
as a physical place and a community; personal recollections of
living in the town; memories of the town during the Second World
War, including military connections.
