Interviews conducted by Mike Duguid

Mike Duguid was born in Torphins, Aberdeenshire. He received an RAF commission in 1969 and served for 37 years as an Engineer Officer across the UK, USA and the Falkland Islands. After retirement he completed a Liberal Arts degree in Scottish Studies at the Glasgow University Crichton Campus in Dumfries where one of the topics covered was the Ethnology of Scotland. Of that time, Mike said: I did some interviews as part of the degree course which gave me the confidence and expertise to conduct further interviews as part of the ‘Artists Remembered’ project in conjunction with the opening of the new art gallery in Kirkcudbright.

Of his work with the Project and making fieldwork recordings, Mike reflected that participating had given him valuable insight into his own community and the artists who had made Kirkcudbright their home in the earlier 20th century. He was also able to pass on this knowledge in other work he was involved in. This including the Artists Remembered project conversations with colleagues from who are working together to promote Kirkcudbright as the Artists’ Town and also when guiding at Broughton House, conducting the Kirkyard tours, and invigilating in the Gallery.

Mike Duguid conducted 2 recordings with 1 interviewee, . The interviews carried out in 2012.
