Aran Islands
Aran Islands, with their magnificent wild terrain, display
evidence of the years of battering by wind and water. The islands -
Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer - lie about 30 miles (48km) out
across the mouth of Galway Bay and are criss-crossed by miles of
stone walls and dotted with some fine iron age archaeological
sites. The islands' isolation allowed Irish culture to survive when
it had all but disappeared elsewhere. Irish is still the native
tongue, and until recently people still wore traditional Aran
dress. The women still knit the famous Aran sweaters; historically
each family used a different pattern in order to recognize
fishermen drowned at sea. The islands are a haven for botanists and
nature lovers with their abundance of flora, fauna and nesting
birds.
