from Ballymoney Northern Ireland
Ballymoney is a typical Irish market town that boasts a superb hinterland of rich farmland stretching to the North Atlantic and the legendary Giant's Causeway. Among others Seamus McKee meets Alex Blair , a local historian, one of whose main interests is 'Old
Patrick' - an ancient stone that testifies to the district's early links with Christian Europe.
Choirs from the area join together in St James 's Presbyterian Church.
