Granda says to Emily.

Stepping out from their special wee place at the bottom of the garden, Granda and Emily find themselves on bustly city streets, at a roaring waterfall and in a crumbling castle. As they visit all Granda’s favourite places,
they become Emily’s favourites too.

Let Emily and Granda show you the magic of their Northern Ireland!
