I came across this disk when I was walking one day in Killybegs. It was located just off the main street. It commemorates the 400th anniversary of Flight of the Earls in 1607.
Errigal is a 751-metre mountain near Gweedore in County Donegal, Ireland. It is the tallest peak of the Derryveagh Mountains and the tallest peak in County Donegal. Errigal is also the most southern and the highest of the mountain chain called the "Seven Sisters" by locals. Wikipedia

ReplyDeleteI had to look up what the Flight of the Earls was -- the catastrophic end of the Gaelic clan system in Ireland and the takeover of Ulster by the English.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see history memorialized in this way.
ReplyDelete...neat find, I have one of these that I should post, thanks Bill.
ReplyDeleteExcellent find, and a bit of history which of course wasn't included in my history classes. Thanks Bill for letting me know of your journey from Alaska to Ireland. I wonder now, did you all blog when you lived in Alaska? I vaguely remember reading some interesting stories from a couple who lived there, way back in my early blogging days
ReplyDeleteI believe we started to blog in 2016 so it must have been someone else.
DeleteA good one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a find. However, I had to look this up. Interesting how many things are not taught in school.
ReplyDeleteGreat find and the picture is so nice and clear and easy to read.
ReplyDeleteI love things like this, Bill.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful find, Bill. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteCool find!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting.
ReplyDeleteThose who take a walk while paying attention to the details always discover something new.
Fascinating. Beautiful photo. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI will have a new blog post tomorrow.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Bill.
Every time I've visited the UK, Scotland, and Ireland, I am so distracted by these water infrastructure covers. Unlike what I've seen in Canada, they always have character, never a missed opportunity to make something cultural and meaningful.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteIt pays off to watch where you're walking. : )
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully designed!
ReplyDeleteCommemorating an interesting piece of history.
ReplyDeleteMuy bonita. Te mando un beso
