Show Notes

This programme tells the stories of migrant workers from Achill in Co Mayo, who would travel to Scotland to work picking potatoes in the 19th century. According to local folklore, the first and last trains carried the bodies of dead people, who passed away during these journeys. (First Broadcast 2005)
