Song For Ireland - Phil & June Colclough Walking all the day Near tall towers where falcons build their nests Silver winged they fly They know the call of freedom in their breasts Saw Black Head against the sky With twisted rocks that run down to the sea Living on your western shore Saw summer sunsets, asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea And sang a song for Ireland Talking all the day With true friends who try to make you stay Telling jokes and news Singing songs to pass the night away Watched the Galway salmon run Like silver dancing, darting in the sun Living on your western shore Saw summer sunsets, asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea And sang a song for Ireland Drinking all the day In old pubs where fiddlers loved to play Someone touched the bow He played a reel, it seemed so grand and gay Stood on Dingle beach and cast In wild foam, we found Atlantic bass Living on your western shore Saw summer sunsets, asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea And sang a song for Ireland Dreaming in the night I saw a land where no man had to fight Waking in your dawn I saw you crying in the morning light Lying where the falcons fly They twist and turn all in your e'er blue sky Living on your western shore Saw summer sunsets, asked for more I stood by your Atlantic sea And sang a song for Ireland
@DonegalRaymie201 They didn't drive out the Vikings though, the Vikings settled in the North and mixed with the Picts and Scots and gradually became part of the Scottish nation, and bringing with them many things that are considered Scottish or Celtic, such as certain artistic styles and musical styles, and food like Haggis and Crowdie cheese. The Norse people are as much a part of Scotland and Ireland and the Gaels and Picts, and they are all Germanic tribes who moved westwards.
I spotted Kylemore abbey, Letterfrack, Maam, the Twelve Bens, Barna pier and beach, Strandhill, Kinvara, Ougherard ...Some places in Co. Cork too. And of course the Cliffs of Moher, Sky Road; but nothing from the Aran Islands? Plenty of Galway! A picture of The Crane Pub, Galway would really fit
@Thuglordrpt When you say "scottish language" I think you mean only Gaelic in the Western Isles and remote Highlands of Scotland.Most of Scotland were probably speaking another language by this stage i.e.Scots and/or English.
