‘The Irish Hoard’ is a humorous take on life in Scotland’s far southwest.
A metal detector find sparks political and cultural mayhem in the Machars, leading finally to a would-be terrorist heist and a consoling touch of romance.
In the background Brexit provokes chaos, Creative Scotland is in meltdown, and there is some dodgy traffic across the Irish Sea. In fact its like the good old days – how we miss them now!
