All roads lead to the Diamond... In Raphoe!
There鈥檚 plenty of fun and laughter for Helen Mark and Rab Lennox in the company of locals and visitors gathered in the Diamond to celebrate Raphoe's rich Ulster-Scots heritage.
Helen Mark and Rab Lennox head to Raphoe in Donegal to meet locals and visitors who鈥檝e turned out in great numbers to celebrate the town鈥檚 annual Ulster-Scots Heritage Day. Who knew there were kilts for 3 year olds, that young pipers love to go to Moscow, or that an Antrim man鈥檚 hand-crafted maces are hurled by drum-majors around the world? Then they meet the a man who danced with the queen and piped for two American presidents, visit a tiny cathedral once part-occupied by a magistrate and Helen hears about the cows who enjoyed Rab鈥檚 music.
