The Famine Irish in Glasgow (34:58) features Professor Sir Tom Devine, the leading historian on the Irish in Scotland. He reflects on the impact and legacy of the Famine Irish migration to Glasgow in 1847 as well as his own grandparents’ story of relocation from Ulster to Scotland in the later nineteenth century. The film also explores how Celtic Football Club was established to help alleviate the poverty of Famine Irish emigrants and their descendants.
The Famine Irish in Glasgow is part of the Great Famine Voices 2022 season, hosted by the National Famine Museum, Strokestown Park and the Irish Heritage Trust with funding from the Government of Ireland Emigrant Support Programme.

Sir Tom. Thank you for sharing your family history and the Famine Irish in Glasgow. By chance you echo my family history, the originated from Tyrone and in 1865 moved to Carfin and later to Bothwell. The male members of the family were coal miners which in turn led to a move to High Blantyre and Dixons Mine and lived in Dixons rows. Bare earth floor and outside toilet. They also had other own property in Camlachie where they lived when the miners went on strike. My father and his father lived in Halfway Cambuslang and both worked in the pits. Once again I thank you for giving me an insight to how the Irish came to move to West Scotland.

Thank you for this. My family history reflects much of what you have described. I recently travelled to Strokestown House Famine Museum while researching my Irish Famine (An Gorta Mor) descendants. Many on my ancestors arrived on these shores from 1847 to 1851 to settle in Blantyre and Hamilton and to work in the pits. I had family too in the Calton in Green Street. I have Keenans, Murphys, Higginses, Callaghans, McGhees, McKees, Girvans, McArvilles, Burns, Morans, Rooneys, all with a common link they all arrived in the famine years, many coming from C Down (Drumore, Killkeel, Killyleagh), C Tyrone, C Monaghan (Keady and Newbliss), C Galway (Carrowpadden), C Longford (Ardagh). I travelled to these places to 'walk in their footsteps'. The Fields of Athenry really were lonely when they left (over a million of them) leaving many dead (a million). God bless them.

There wasn't a famine, there was a potato blight. British soldiers took food out of Ireland to England whilst people starved to death just like on Bengal in 1943.

The famine was europe wide not just in Ireland and Scotland a bad time for all but the "irish" in glasgow still hold a terrible grudge all these years later and their hatred of fellow Scots never mind British is sickening. No one forces them to stay.

This is nonsense. Britain saved the Irish through charity & welcoming the hungry to England. My family left Galway & Kerry during the Blight to settle in Liverpool. They were fed, washed & given employment. Thank you England.

Sadly, famines were not uncommon back then. Scotland also had its own famine. Celtc, however, were not formed to alleviate famine, but to maintain in Glasgow the sectarian division and tribalism found before on the island of Ireland.

And of course we know about Scotland's own famines and the Highland Clearances. Stop being so petty! No one is ignoring the victims of them. Who cause alot of that? The upper classes!
