Ruth is from Portessie, near Buckie on the north east coast. She was a fish gutter in her teens, traveling all over the UK during the herring boom for work. She has a wealth of stories to tell from this time, but in this extract she is talking about getting married during the war and the difficulties of keeping in touch with her new husband.
