The Tinker Experiment - 2023
History on the Edge
Anita Anand travels to Scotland on the trail of what’s become known as the 'Tinker Experiment’. Following World War 2, the aim of the authorities, helped by the Church of Scotland, was to get gypsy travellers to leave their nomadic traditions and lives behind for a settled life in mainstream society. There, they'd have a chance of education for their children who could be removed into care if they didn’t comply with the required 200 days attendance at school.

Anita travels to Bobbin Mill near Pitlochry where, in 1946, the McPhee family and other gypsy travellers were moved into an old wartime hut converted for four families. The accommodation was small and overcrowded for the nine McPhee children and their parents, and was without amenities such as electricity. There was also asbestos in the walls which wasn’t removed until the 1980s.

At Bobbin Mill, Anita meets Shamus McPhee and three of his sisters who still live on the site.
