about

The Toil/Gourock Ellen

Life for the tattie howkers was miserable. The labour itself involved the men digging up potatoes with the women following behind, crawling on their knees dragging two baskets apiece into which the potatoes were lifted. After a hard day of work, they could only retreat into miserable accommodation – usually a hastily converted cattle byre.
In amongst the Irish labourers were two Scottish women, one of whom was Gourock Ellen, “the woman who was not ashamed”. She was loose lipped and done what she pleased, though was evidently a kind person. In typical catholic fashion, Dermod hated her, without even knowing why.
