A ceilidh solution to drive out the banshee drivers for good - Bruce Whitehead

An Enemy of the People, Ibsen’s heroic tale of small-town corruption, filmed in Kirkcudbright in 1980, is currently on iPlayer. Doctor Thomas Stockmann detects chromium poisoning of the water table and proposes closure of the town tannery and cleaner water supplies. The union leader, Mr Geikie replies: “It wouldn’t do any harm to have the people behind you. Our local authorities are often reluctant to act on proposals from others.” (My italics)
