• Achoimre

  Set during a strike in a Scottish pit-town in the 1860s, a group of highlanders march back home, led by their piper, rather than cross the picket. A group of starving Irish dispossed tenant farmers and their families appear, sent with the promise of work in the coal mine. Some of the more hotheaded Orangemen in the local community, however, resolve to teach them a lesson.
