12 Miles: The Narrow Sea

Twelve miles separates Scotland and Northern Ireland. Helen Mark visits people from here who now live there. A Banbridge man now has his own distillery, a lady from Magherafelt her own restaurant. Helen also meets farmers who made the short journey, swapping the Antrim coast for that of Ayr. And she comes across people who use the land just for fun.

Twelve miles separates Scotland and Northern Ireland. Helen Mark visits people from here who now live there.

Twelve Miles separates Scotland and Northern Ireland. Ferries are the lifeblood for those who come and go. Helen Mark meets many who make the journey regularly; footballers, bandsmen, truck drivers.
