One story leads to another.
Yesterday we had a great tour of Inis Oirr, the easternmost of the Aran Islands. Here are a few photos of Saint Gobnait’s 6th century church, the landscape, and an elderberry tree. The island was of strategic importance in centuries past and had its fair share of smugglers and pirates, as well. It’s part of County Galway now but has gone back and forth between Galway and Clare in years past. Irish is still the first language in the Aran Islands.
