Tara, ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland

traces of the Pagan past can still be found

 

The Hill of Tara

County Meath

In north east Ireland–the Hill of Tara has been described  as “the spiritual and historical heart of Ireland.”     It was a place that dates back to 4000 BC and was a place of rituals, where men met in battled and were buried when they died.  Many kings (estimated as well over 100) of ancient times were crowned here and Christianity stopped here in the form of St. Patrick to seek leave to spread his message of Christ in the land.

 

It has later been used for meetings and in one specific incident–a political demonstrations against the union with Britain 1843

It is still a site to spend Midsummer’s Eve

but unfortunately there was much damage done to the area of Tara for a new highway.

Clackmannan Tower

 

Parish of Clackmannan

 

Clackmannan Tower

“Standing prominently on the summit of King’s Seat Hill,  Clackmannan Tower is an impressive 14th keep of three stories, which in the 15th century was heightened and then extended to L-plan.  Clackmannan was a property of the Bruces from 1359 until 1796, having been given to them by David II.  

Henry Bruce of Clackmannan fought for the Jacobires in the 1745 Rising, and in August 1787 his widow Catherine “knighted” Robert Burns with the sword of Robert the Bruce.  

The tower was abandoned only four years later; an adjoining mansion has bee demolished.

There have apparently been several strange happenings in the tower, leading some to believe that the building is haunted.  A paranormal investigation is apparently planned for the tower.

About Broadway & the Cotswolds

 

Cotswold Lions

The Cotswolds covers a huge area – almost 800 square miles – and runs through five counties (Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire) in an area north west of London, England.  So it might surprise you to know that there be lions here.

 

Now this is an ancient breed of cowardly lions—but they have been in this area since medieval times, when they made the local merchants and the like a great source of income and even brought in Money Enough to build some cathedrals as well.

But with the Industrial Revolution came a shift of wealth to city mills and the Cotswolds became a forgotten place, too poor to do much but remain in place and unchanged—something that eventually paid off for them was now the tourists as well as local visitors began to come here, in droves, to see the 15th century buildings basically unchanged with their thatched roofs and quaint architecture.

 

And the Lions—they remain and in fact the word “Cotswolds” is thought to mean sheepfold on high, open land.  And the lions   

as you can see from the picture below, are still in the vales and on the hill sides to this day.

Many movies have been made in the Keys- over the years—the one that bares one of the Keys’ name:  Key Largo –was actually except for a tiny bit filmed on sets in Hollywood so I really don’t consider it as really being filmed in the Keys.

Yankee Doodle

The song was initially popular among British forces during the War of Independence, 

as a mocking appraisal of the American soldiers’ inability to fight (and indeed dress themselves properly.  After the battle of Bunker’s Hill

the US troops themselves adopted it as a favourite marching song and threw it back at the Brits, to the annoyance of one British officer, who said, “It (“Yankee Doodle’) is now their paean, a favourite of favourites…a lover’s spell, the nurse’s lullaby”.  They even played it when the British Army came down to sign the surrender documents.  SO here’s early proof that Americans have a descent sense of comic timing and irony, whatever some commentators might say..
