    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Today, North Clutag is an ordinatry working dairy farm, but in the 1930&#39;s it was home to an extraordinary man.&nbsp; John McNeilie, who wrote under the pen name of Ian Niall, spent his boyhood days here.&nbsp; He scandalised the local community by publishing &#39;The Wigtown Ploughman&#39;, in which he described in unflinching details the hardships of life endured by farm labourers in the early years of the 20th century.&nbsp; The book sparked calls for change and progress, but locally he was ostracised by many neighbours who were all to recognisable on the page.&nbsp; McNeillie went on to publish more thatn 40 books, including the hugely popular &#39;The Poacher&#39;s Handbook&#39;, and &#39;No Resting Place&#39;, a remarkably sympathetic book on travelling gypsies, written as it was in 1948.]]></dcterms:description>
