The Daily Record has journeyed back in time to the 1950s to round up 10 of the objects that you would likely come across in a Scottish household that you wouldn't see these days.Everyday life for Scots was very different back in the 1950s, and the household objects of the time reflected thisIt might seem like an obvious thing to say, but life in Scotland has changed a lot over the past 70 years.
These days, fully plumbed bathtubs or showers are found in every home in Scotland. Back in the 1950s, though, many Scottish families instead had a tin bath that they would bring in from outside and fill with hot water from the stove. It was a very tedious process, which is why many families had a dedicated 'bath night'.
As the name suggests, carpet sweepers were used to clean carpets. They were mechanical devices that were commonplace before vacuum cleaners became popular and readily available, and were surprisingly effective at getting rid of fluff and lint. Another common sight in kitchens back in the day was a mincer. You would place your meat of choice into the receptacle and turn the lever to grind it by hand. As mince has become cheaper and more readily available at supermarkets over the years, these have become much more of a niche product.
