The legendary Barney McCool (played by Tom McDevitte) sits outside his cottage in Coolaghey, near his native Strabane. Barney talks about the beauty of Derry and the surrounding areas and tells stories as only he can. 

Tom McDevitte was an actor and broadcaster who created the character of Barney McCool for Radio Eireann in 1936 and broadcast on radio for many years before making his debut on UTV's launch programme in 1959. Many of his ideas and experiences came from his time as an employee of the railways, which began when he was 15 as a clerk with the Great Northern in Strabane.
