About 200 people with Donegal links were at the council chambers last week to discuss the experiences of men and women who held jobs between 1940 and 1990.
Celtic legend Packie Bonner joined Glasgwegians whose families hail from Donegal at a special event where they shared memories of working in Scotland for an exhibition.
Last week’s event helped gather mementos for the display with photographs of teenage tunnellers and women working in factories among historical records of daily lives captured. Joe Gallagher, County Donegal Heritage Officer said: “There are few families in County Donegal that have not been affected by emigration or participated in seasonal migration and Scotland, particularly Glasgow, was the destination for many. With the passage of time, the opportunities to record first-hand accounts of the experiences of Donegal people working in Scotland are disappearing.”
