I-Knitter irekhoda iipateni zeglavu ukugcina uyilo lweSanquhar
UMay MacCormick ovela eSanquhar, ngomnye wabajingi bokugqibela abanolwazi olupheleleyo loyilo lweglavu yaseSanquhar.
Izinto ezizodwa zinxulunyaniswa ngokwembali kwidolophana kwaye ukudala kwazo kuye kwaba yinto yobugcisa eyanciphayo.
Uyilo lwabo lwe-monochrome lubuyela kwikhulu le-18 kwaye uMeyi uzimisele ukugcina isithethe.
Uxelele i-BBC Scotland News ukuba "ibalulekile" ukugcina umzi-mveliso we-cottage ukuze ube nenzala.
Iiglavu zaseSanquhar zazithuthwa ngendlela entsonkothileyo, ezimnyama nezimhlophe kwaye zazithengiswa ngabahlali belali ukuze babonelele ngengeniso yabo ngenkulungwane ye-18 neye-19.
UMay uthe uninzi loyilo aluzange lubhalwe phantsi.
Zili-16 iipateni zeglavu zelifa lemveli kwaye sele ezinikele ezili-11 ephepheni.
“Ezi zinto ziyalahleka ukuba azibhalwanga kwaye awufuni oko ngokwesiko,” utshilo.
"Kukho izithuba ezaneleyo kwimbali yokunitha kweSanquhar njengoko injalo. Asazi ukuba isuka phi, siyazi ukuba yayiyishishini le-cottage kodwa asazi ukuba livela phi okanye liqala nini."
Ukunitha iiglavu kwiinaliti ezine kudala umphumo ongenamthungo
Lo mboniso ubonisa ipateni enye yekawusi kunye neepateni zeglavu zeSanquhar ezili-16, ezinye ezingenamagama.
UMay wabelana ngolwazi lwakhe ngemiboniso kunye nokhenketho kwiziko loluntu i-A' The Airts eSanquhar.
UJudith Hewitt, uMgcini weMyuziyam yaseDumfries kunye neGalloway (eMpuma), uthe: “Ngeminyaka yoo-1770s, kwakugqalwa njengento ephawulekayo ukuba iSanquhar yayizibandakanya kwiimpahla ezinithiweyo kwaye uninzi lwabantu edolophini babezibandakanya kwishishini leengubo ezithungelweyo.
"Kusenokwenzeka ukuba iSanquhar yayikwi-artery ephambili phakathi kweDumfries neGlasgow ngoko ke yayineendawo ezimbini enokurhweba ngayo kwaye ithengise kuzo."
ISanquhar yayisaziwa kakhulu ngokwenza ikhaphethi kwaye enye ithiyori yeyokuba iiglavu ekuqaleni zazinekhaphethi ezilukiweyo, zizenza zomelele kwaye zomelele ngakumbi.
Uyilo lwanikwa amagama afana neCornet kunye neDrum, iFleur de Lys, iNkosana yaseWales, iliso lePheasant kunye nePlaid yoMalusi.
Eyona pateni idumileyo, uyilo lwe-"Duke" lwe-aristocratic, oluthiywe emva kweeDukes zaseQueensberry kunye ne-Buccleuch kamva, inokuba nayo inyuse iprofayile ye-knitwear.
Ezinye iipatheni zibandakanya uyilo lwe "Midge and Flea" kunye nepateni ye "Rose", eyathiywa ngo-1930, emva kokuzalwa kukaPrincess Margaret Rose.
UMay wawufunda lo msebenzi wezandla kumama wakhe, nowawufundiswe kwiZiko lamaKhosikazi eScottish (i-SWI) eSanqhuar.
Njengabanye abaninzi, uyilo lokuqala awalufundayo yayiyipateni kaDuke.
UMay uthe: “Ukutshata kwam ndize eSanquhar, kulapho ndaziswa khona kuzo zonke ezinye iipateni ezahlukeneyo linenekazi elalinegunya kuyo.
"Xa wagqiba ekubeni akasayi kubamba iiglavu, wayeneglavu yazo zonke iipateni kwaye wandibuza ukuba ndingathanda iiglavu zakhe kwaye ukuba akunjalo, baya kuya kwimyuziyam."
Ngokwemveli abamnyama nabamhlophe, izicelo zanamhlanje zeeglavu zenziwa ngeminye imibala
UMay wacinga ukuba iiglavu kufuneka ziye kwimyuziyam kodwa wabuza umfazi - uJane Forsyth - ukuba angenza iikopi ngaphambi kokuba baye.
Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, uMeyi eberekhoda uyilo.
Uthe: “Kukho i-10 epapashiweyo, kukho eleshumi elinanye sele liza kuphuma, ke ndisebenza indlela yam ngayo ngalo mzuzu.
"Ndiyibhala phantsi njengoko ndiyithungile, yindlela endenze ngayo."
INkosana yaseWales, i-Shepherd's Plaid kunye neMidge kunye neNtakumba ziphakathi kweepateni ezingayilwanga ngendlela ephindwe kabini.
Ngaphakathi kweepateni zeglavu zeSanqhuar ezili-16, ezisithoba zinedizayini ephindwe kabini, leyo uMay uyazi ngentloko.
Kodwa usebenzise iiglavu zakhe zokulinganisa ukubhala ezinye iipateni ezisixhenxe.
Wongeze wathi: "Iipatheni zesikwere bezilula kakhulu kuba iimilo ziyafana kuzo zonke, yile nto uyibeka kwisikwere eyenza yahluke."
Iiglavu zinitwe kwiinaliti ezine ezincinci kakhulu kumjikelo ukuze kungabikho mthungo.
Inxalenye yesiko kukunitha iiinishiyali zomnini kwikhafu, ukwenza iiglavu zibe zezakho.
UMay uthe: "Inani lemithungo oyisebenzisayo, ukunyuka, ukuhla, yonke into iyafana kodwa ubukhulu benaliti kunye nobukhulu boboya obenza umahluko."
Ebeqhuba iiklasi zokufundisa abantu ukwenza iiglavu zaseSanquhar kunye nokugcina isiko liphila.
Ngexesha lo bhubhani, bekukho neeklasi zokusondeza kwi-intanethi, ezibanjwe kuYouTube.
UMay urekhode ipateni ye-Duke, eyona nto ibalaseleyo yoyilo lweglavu yaseSanquhar
UMay ngamaxesha athile uncedisa ngokunitha kwiziko le-A' The Airts, kodwa ubukhulu becala unitha iiglavu ngokomsebenzi, kanye njengoko umama wakhe wenzayo.
"Kuthetha nje ngomlomo ngokwenene. Ezi ziya kwintombazana eneminyaka eyi-15," watsho, ebonisa iiglavu eziblue namhlophe.
"Ndisandula ukugqiba iiglavu zamakhwenkwe kwaye inkwenkwe ikwiminyaka yayo yama-20. Ndifumanisa ukuba kukho abantu abancinci abazifunayo ngoku."
