Rock of Cashel

A towering symbol of kings, saints, and stonework

Dear Ireland,
The wind off the Atlantic carries more than sea spray—it carries memory. In the quiet of a mossy ruin or the laughter from a Doolin pub, your stories linger. You remind us to slow down, to listen, to belong. And in every shared smile and song, we find home again—no matter how far we've wandered.

Ireland’s Viking Roots

The Vikings didn’t just raid Ireland—they reshaped it. From founding some of the island’s most important coastal cities to leaving behind shipwrecks and silver hoards, the Norse left their mark on both Irish soil and story. Today, their legacy lives on in museums, streetscapes, and even festivals that honour a thousand years of shared history.
