Notes:
Interviewed by Helen Taylor on 9/11/2007.Summary: Carole was born in Fyvie Hospital 15 May 1958, which she says is a privilege since the hospital closed in the 1960s. She begins by talking about school, her mother being a teacher, her own class teachers, going to Inverurie Academy, going into banking after being inspired by their recruitment campaign, the village of Fyvie as she was growing up, including a detailed description of all the shops, the doctor's, sweeties, Fyvie Castle when it was a private home and then goes on to talk about the Fyvie Heritage Centre which was set up in the primary school. Carole then talks about the church, Sunday School, the Millennium monument, Fyvie Folk Club of which Carole is a stalwart, the Turriff Young Farmers Club, Fyvie Post Office where Carole currently works, and then she recites some of her favourite poetry including Peter Buchan's 'The Dunderheid', 'The Ither Side of the Pulpit' by Jimmy Wright, speaks about her love of Doric, and the interview ends by Helen's salutary tale of the young wives at church only wanting to join the choir if they got hymns to sing they liked, and the minister telling them they weren't in church to enjoy themselves!
