Short Description

A moving tribute to the Donegal men and women who crossed the sea each year to Scotland's potato harvest, carrying hope, resilience and the strength of home.

Full Product Description

For generations, thousands of people from County Donegal travelled across the water to Scotland to work the annual potato harvest. Known as the Tattie Hokers, they endured long days of hard labour, harsh weather and months away from their families so they could earn wages to support loved ones back home.

This RareGer heritage card tells the remarkable story of these seasonal workers through historic photographs, evocative illustrations and the landscapes that connected Donegal and Scotland. It is a celebration of resilience, community and the unbreakable bond between home and those who left it in search of a better tomorrow.
