Ian Miller is one of the most well-kent faces in the West of Scotland. A man of the cloth. An entertainer. A man who welcomed all denominations, anytime. A man who has married, christened and buried the great the good and the lowly with equalgravitas and humanity. This is his life-story so far. In 'Habbie to Jeely-Eater' we find out about the man behind the scenes. A weekend guest at Balmoral, a Church Minister, a Celtic supporter, a renowned speaker, an arsonist...? Well, no-one is perfect. Most of all, Ian is a family man who loved his Parish, and was loved back in return.

A bit like the man himself.
