Smokie Gray - duck-herder Arbroath
The late Ian 'Smokie' Gray, folk-singer, sheep farmer, Beano scriptwriter, man of the country and raconteur extraordinaire, is pictured at Arbroath Donkey Derby in 1988. He trained his sheepdogs to herd ducks and presented the show under the name Jooks of Hazzard. We are particularly impressed by the duck in the foreground which appears to have been trained to give hand signals.
