The Lanarkshire Lithuanians
Tsarist oppression in late 19th-century Lithuania resulted in mass emigration. Hundreds of people took the shipping route from the Baltic to Leith, then on to America via the Clyde. But at least 6.000 stayed in Lanarkshire, attracted by the prospects of work in the steelworks and coalfields. Bellshill became Little Lithuania in the heart of industrial Scotland.
Three generations of Scottish Lithuanians tell the story of their community. Researcher MURDOCH ROGERS Producer BILLY KAY
(First broadcast on Radio Scotland)
