Donald MacIntosh 
Travels in Galloway [EPUB ebook] 
Memoirs from South-west Scotland

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 Po W’s, woodcutting, poaching, the daily trains, summer fitba‘, the village sports, the tinkers and inshore fishermen. Mac Intosh 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.
