Interesting Irish kilt article

[QUOTE=MacSpadger;941996]So as with some legend, there may be a kernel of truth there. I will, however, draw the line at the Sons Of Uisnech wading across the sea to Argyll with Deirdre on their shoulders.

Very interesting dissertation, glad you posted it. But I will draw the line against the wading thing you mention- I've never seen that in the legend. They took a boat, which is easy enough to do since the two coastlines are in sight of each other.

Oh, there's rather a few versions that have the wading

I always preferred taking the Stranraer to Larne ferry myself.

Presumably then this was in the happy time the global warming folks are trying to recapture, when most of the earth's water was locked up in the polar ice caps? Anyway, it is certain this was the Irish Sea they were wading and not some lough or other?
