Sons of Vulcan by Robert Duncan

A deeply human history of the ironworkers, steelmen, furnaces and industrial communities that helped shape modern Scotland.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection and has a particularly meaningful connection to his own Scottish family history. Dad came from Falkirk, and his family background included generations of demanding work connected with mining and foundries. His interest in the people behind Britain's industrial past therefore went beyond history on a page. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by Robert Duncan, Sons of Vulcan: Ironworkers and Steelmen in Scotland traces more than three centuries of Scottish iron and steel production, exploring the development of foundries, furnaces and mills alongside the people whose working lives were shaped by them.

Rich in archive photography and historical detail, the book places skilled workers, trade unions and industrial communities at the heart of the story, offering a valuable record of the human history behind an industry that transformed Scotland.

A fascinating choice for readers interested in Scottish heritage, labour history, industrial Britain and the lives of the people behind its furnaces and steelworks.
