Between Two Countries: Celebrating Irish and Scottish Heritage at Gaoth Dobhair Family Resource Centre Book Launch
An Irish boy from the Gorbals β a story of identity, heritage and the connections between two countries.
The strong historical, cultural and family connections between Ireland and Scotland will be celebrated this December as Gaoth Dobhair Family Resource Centre prepares to host a special book launch.
The launch of Between Two Countries β An Irish Boy from the Gorbals, written by Martin Connor, will take place at Gaoth Dobhair Family Resource Centre on Friday, 4th December 2026 @ 6p.m.
The event will bring together members of the Irish-Scottish community from across Donegal and the wider North West for an evening celebrating shared heritage, family connections and the stories that link Ireland and Scotland.
For many families across Donegal, the connection with Scotland is deeply personal. Generations have travelled between both countries in search of work, opportunities and a better future, leaving behind lasting family ties, friendships and traditions.
This special evening offers an opportunity to recognise those shared experiences, reconnect with our heritage and celebrate the stories that have shaped so many families on both sides of the Irish Sea.
The evening will feature Martin and Hughie, with an opportunity to purchase a copy of Between Two Countries β a wonderful Christmas gift for anyone with an interest in Irish and Scottish history and heritage.
Gaoth Dobhair Family Resource Centre is extending a warm invitation to everyone in the Irish-Scottish community to come along and enjoy what promises to be a memorable evening.
Places are limited to just 60 people, so early booking is essential to avoid disappointment.
Two countries, shared roots, countless stories β bringing our Irish and Scottish communities together.
