Description

At beautiful Lough Erne, Charlie Witherspoon looks at the history of the Lough Erne cot – a boat peculiar to Erne.  

He meets John McGoldrick who was born and raised on Innisleague, an island near Lisnaskea. John has rode on cots for eleven years, transporting milk. The cot was originally made of oak. Incredibly, here we see John and his family load a tractor onto the boat.  

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
