Excellent video Clisare, I just realized not only are you one of my favorite ladies from the TRY Channel but you are the ONLY female youtuber that I am subscribed to.
Deirbhile sound like my kinda lady, and would do well in fending off the Tinder creeps these days :D I always wonder if the last resident who stepped off the island understood how significant that was, and if it felt like grief or sadness to be leaving.
I love, love, LOVE your road trip videos around Ireland. You have given us so much beauty that Ireland has... places and events I never heard of! I want to visit Ireland! Thanks for your videos, Clare!
Ah, Irn Bru! Even though it is a Scottish soft drink, it is quite good (and one of the stores down the street from where I live in Boston sells both bottles and cans). That was a good tour of the island, though...
Clare!!! Greetings! Dia duit! The dip in the Belmullet Tidal pool looked brisk and refreshing! Kea has such the accent! What a beautiful visit you shared! GRMA! Bring FOOD!! And sunscreen!! Ha! You are GREATLY appreciated! Keep your Light Shining!!! Again, GRMA!!! Slan!!
I've enjoyed all your travel videos! I'll preface my question by saying that I know nothing about keeping sheep, but I have seen some videos where professional shearers have shown shearing sheep whose fleece had been badly matted and the neglected animals were suffering because of it. I'm curious as to who (if anyone) owns or tends to the sheep on this long-abandoned island?
I do think they’re owned by people who own land on the island but I asked, and I’m pretty sure she said they mostly just eat the grass on the island. Shearing is a good Q. 🤔
Even though I'm a very lousy tourist, this is something I would love to do. Seems to more exploring than touring and where you can actually learn somethings. Thank you, Clare. You're a darlin'.
That was very interesting, thank you so much! The quiet reminded me of the aftermath of hurricane Katrina a bit. Of course New Orleans isn't anywhere near the Gulf of Mexico, but all the empty houses, with no one about, and no traffic at all made me feel like I was in a zombie movie. Living right next to a park where I'd see shadows moving at night didn't help. I'm very much looking forward to the vidoes you mentioned! Thank you!
As always with your 'Irish Bucket List' videos...checked out of your list, going directly into mine🤩Inishkea looks beautiful and even more with the nice weather
Love your road trip videos and how you show things off the beaten track. Really enjoying the Mayo stuff - my grandparents were born there. Definitely would like to take this tour. A few years back we visited Ireland and spent a night on Inishmore. I remember being struck by how quiet it was like you were mentioning here.
I love visiting abandoned areas. Your tour of Ireland videos have been so lovely to watch. Thank you for all that you do for all of us! Sláinte! ~Be Blessed
Honey, you and that tour guide NEED hats! Wrinkle prevention! (Just look at the (JFK) Kennedy women who spent their lives sailing and playing tennis! 😱
I was wearing a hat! I just took it off for lunch because I also put suncream on my face during lunch but on the boat and exploring I was wearing one 😊
I truly love the Irish Lore and what a place to visit. Good on them for providing you with a lunch, had to chuckle a bit over that one little lady. Outstanding they are restoring some of the cottages. Enjoyed every minute of this one as always best to all and scritches for Miss Millie.
Phenomenal scenes from the island! Looks like it would be wild peaceful! Can’t wait to see more! As always, thanks for sharing!!!!! Greatly appreciate it! 💚🤍🧡
Looks perfect for a Russian Mobster, to buy the whole island. Which they do ya know. Put in a real Naval Dock Rebuild it all better, and rent it back to the your generation, at half of rate that Dublin gets. Just like they've done in London, NYC, and Dublin. lol!
This sort of video makes me want to buy a small parcel somewhere and build or restore a small cabin for vacation use or possibly even several months a year. Helping rebuild the local micro-economy of a place like that while getting to know local neighbors would be great. Of course, it sounds like there is no remaining local community on this particular island at all, so it probably wouldn’t be a good fit for my idea.
Clisare, I just wanted to say hello. I hope that you are doing well. My brother and I want to go to Ireland and visit. I went to the Tartan Scottish museum here in the U.S. I gave the guy my great grandparents and grandparents names on my mom and dad's side. The guy looked it up and my whole family names were all from Scotland. That is 9 tartans in my family. I might have Irish heritage too.
Neither are inhabited anymore, except for one man who comes back to live on.. I think the North Island (unsure) alone in the summer! But you can rent one of the cottages on the South Island to stay there for a night.
Clisare darling,for those of us hard of hearing,and those who sometimes cannot make out what you're saying due to wind noise,or distance from camera or lost in translation, verbatim captions along the bottom would be so appreciated as the YT captions are so far off of actual words and misplaced,skipped,lost words that one cannot make out what's really being said..and if no one else appreciates it,I most sincerely would there girl ;-) slon slon.
