A WEST Kilbride woman will feature on the first episode of a new BBC Scotland programme airing next week.

Audrey McNeish, pictured right, will feature on the Generation Frame which will see two families go on a personal journey to uncover their family story with an exciting modern twist.

With the help of genealogists and experts, each family discovers how their story fits into the wider history of Scotland and, in turn, how they each became who they are today.

Born and raised in the east end of Glasgow, Audrey – who lives on a farm near West Kilbride – is proud of her Glasgow roots and the strong women who came before her.

Having grown up in a relatively small family, with help from genealogist Lorna Kinnaird, lecturer Audrey is surprised to discover how large her extended family really is and that they came from far and wide.

Exploring the social history of post-war Glasgow and the impact WW2 had on her family, Audrey embarks on a very personal and moving journey into the tough lives of those who came before her and how the HMT Lancastria disaster changed the path of her family forever.

Audrey said: “I think the family look to me to be the gatherer of information.”

You can catch the show on Monday, May 20 on BBC Scotland at 8pm.
