HERE COME THE TATTIE HOWKERS [8232]

The film documents an all but forgotten piece of Scottish social history, the story of the Irish tattie howkers who for decades provided labour for Scottish farmers. Through a narrative weaved out of their personal stories a past way of life is revealed in cinematic images.
