Up the Doon

Up the Doon is A hilarious and heart-warming new comedy written for television and set on Burns' "banks an' braes o' bonnie Doon". It features Alec Gourlay, a retired coal miner, who was abandoned on Smiler's mother's doorstep when he was four, clutching a tin of condensed milk and a note which read, "Look after my wee boy, whoever you are, for I cannot afford to, and a new world bekkons. Yours truly, anonymous. P.S. Excuse spelling." Sixty years later the unexpected arrival of a long-lost sibling turns Alec's [and Smiler's] world upside down.
