The two Wills head to a hotel in Glenluce where they meet up with a group of friends including Jackie Duffy, who’s been travelling back and forward to Northern Ireland for the last 35 years competing in blacksmithing or ploughing competitions - and encountering difficult donkeys… Jim is a first generation Scot whose father came from Ballyfrenis near Carrowdore and who calls himself ‘Galloway Irish’. Murray Irvine tells the group about some work being done on the graves in the parish - and their plans to publish a book of headstone inscriptions. Lindsay Galloway tells an anecdote about the hospitality of the Galloway Irish - or was it just nosiness! (Broadcast: 11/09/2005)
