I think that was called The Gift and was from around 1989 or so. If I recall correctly Jim Baxter had a brief appearance near the end.

Hey Fran - did you miss the Songs of Praise that was recorded up here last year in Pulteneytown and Canisbay churches as well as Freswick? Sally Magnusson presented and sailed the Isabella Fortuna.

Also just filmed at Freswick Castle a film about Wilberforce called "The Walk" due to be screened next year.
