A Dundee mill worker recounts memories of the jute mills in Dundee. She describes her three-year-old self seeing the huge jute machines for the first time and then, as a nine-year-old, beginning work at Baxter鈥檚 Mill as a picker. We learn that the company built a school at the mill. Child workers would begin school at five in the morning and work in the mill in the afternoon. The jute used in Dundee was imported from India to the city renamed Juteopolis. We also learn of a fire in a jute mill in Glasgow which caused hundreds of people to lose their jobs. These memories are described against a backdrop of film images of the Dundee jute mills.
