BBCI's "The One Show" last Tuesday included a short 4 minute film about the famous Hebridean slaves who were landed at Donaghadee and were freed. My good friend Bill Montgomery, and Donaghadee historian Harry Allen, both featured in the piece. It's just been removed from the iPlayer this evening, so I hope you got to see it before it went! If not, here's a summary of the story. Harry Allen's excellent book on Donaghadee includes a lot of detail of the story as well as photographs of some of the sites and buildings.
