The Dingle Way, 2025 |
 Day 2 (Friday, 5 September 2025) – Dunquin (Dun Chaoin) to Cuas (An Chlais): While were in the An Bothar pub, I took this photograph of a map of the Dingle Peninsula, and a part of the caption beneath the map is worth quoting: “Irish is one of the oldest written languages in Europe with a strong and rich literary tradition. Irish as spoken today is the continuation of a linguistic tradition that stretches back to at least the 9th Century. The oral tradition has played an extremely important role in the continuation of Irish as a living language. Poetry, song and narrative prose carried the exploits of heroes, villains, chieftains and mythical figures across generations.” |
