This book is the life story of John 'Jock' Findlay, rediscovered by his grandson Neil Findlay MSP after finding Jock's writing on the back of a plywood bath panel.

Pumpherston village in Scotland, built by Pumpherston Oil Company in 1884, was home to the brave shale oil workers who faced life threatening conditions. In Life in the Raws the life of 'a proud, good, clever working class man' is revealed from 1919 to 1994 spanning almost a whole century of Scottish history.

It presents the story of one man's life as well as the history of a unique Scottish village and its community and culture.
