Learn about Bloody Sunday from those who were directly affected by it on a tour of the Bogside from the perspective of relatives of the victims of Bloody Sunday. Paul is the son of Patrick Doherty, one of the innocent victims. He offers his first-hand knowledge and insight into the story from a unique direct perspective. *Paul Doherty is also available for lectures on Bloody Sunday, the Saville Inquiry & the Peace Process.
This hour-long walking tour in Derry retraces pieces of the original march and also visits places where the dead and wounded fell. The Bogside History Tour will examine the political and social repercussions of the Bloody Sunday Massacre. The tour will pass ‘The Museum of Free Derry’ and conclude at the Bloody Sunday monument within sight of the Free Derry corner and beneath the city walls of Derry.
The Bogside (Irish: Taobh an Bhogaigh) is a neighbourhood outside the city walls. Here travelers can see the large gable-wall murals by the Bogside Artists, Free Derry Corner and the Gasyard Féile (an annual music and arts festival that is held in a former gas yard) are popular tourist attractions. This area has been a focus point for many of the events of the Troubles; in 1969, a fierce three-day battle known as the Battle of the Bogside became a starting point of the Troubles.
