Book Description

Publication Date: 21 Sep 2006
These travel memoirs from Galloway span from between the war years until current times and cover a wide spectrum of people and places in this fascinating corner of Scotland. The subject matter spans Galloway-Irish dialect, rock fishing, potato famine, harvesting, Italian PoW's, woodcutting, poaching, the daily trains, summer fitba', the village sports, the tinkers and inshore fishermen. MacIntosh uses his great skill as a writer to bring to life aspects of rural life which have gone and some which may yet disappear. The characters are all unique and inhabit a marvellous patchwork of places and situations which Macintosh is able to convey in a humorous yet never sentimental way. A fitting sequel to his first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A WONDERFUL READ 24 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
It's just a really easy, entertaining read and as I know the area well I enjoyed it all the more. You feel like you're in Galloway when you read it too. It makes me smile just thinking about it. Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 28 Feb 2013
By Ann M
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a well written book about an area I know well and have family connections with. However, though I enjoyed parts of it, overall I was disappointed. and at times bored. It never really conveyed Galloway to me and it could have been set anywhere.
