BBC Radio Scotland - Our Story, Series 6, Episode 2

Mark Stephen travels to Ullapool to find out about the Klondykers.

In the 1970s, during an era long before the end of the Cold War, a small village in the North West of Scotland found itself at the heart of an international fishing bonanza, as dozens of huge fish processing ships from the Eastern Bloc arrived in the bay. 
Today Our Story belongs to "The Klondykers" as Mark Stephen travels to Ullapool to find out how the community lived and worked with their visitors.
