A world that is so very much gone and young people today would find it very hard to fully understand what it was really like.

Suffern Jaysus but its all History now.The waves break the Shore and the sea-gulls nattern. Marks time on the Irish Race.

Beautiful video of the island life. I grew up in kilraine and I can’t get it out of my head

Aran, even Inisheer, have commercial centers. They also have a ton more exposed stone. If the Blaskets, it'd have to be Beginish, but I'm not feeling it. Lettercallow has this going for it - They could get the film crew there by car. There is a difference between "Where they want to invoke" and "where would be a useful location". Not sold on Lettercallow though either. "So where?" What do I know ;-).

I love hearing the Irish language

More of us mainland people may take note of how much our native language is still alive and well. I had the pleasure of get to know lads from Aran Islands in St Jarlaths boarding school in Tuam in late 90's.

A shame that Chris Rodmell didn't let us hear one word of Irish.

It was a Joy to watch the New Version of this 50 years later on Inis Meáin last night

It's a fascinating island to explore. There's a well marked walking trail around the island that incorporates the main historical sites.

The cow 🤍

Could do without the whistle!.

Saol crua ar bhealach....

the history of our forefathers some stayed on the island others went to america.

I was reduced to tears whilst viewing this short film. i was born and reared in Co. Leitrim, and am therefore all too familier with the term 'poverty' In my teenage years, my beloved late Father and I shared the suit to seperate mass's, but I cannot remember ever being hungrey.

My grandfather grew up on this island does anyone know what year this was filmed?

The English tried their best to eradicate us and our culture but it couldn't be done.🍀

The abandoned Great Blasket Island off the west coast of Ireland holds a special place in the heart of 92-year-old Dr Mike Carney who was born there. The Telegraph goes with him as he visits his birthplace for the last time. "I don't know if I will be able to make it," says Mike Carney, looking out across a wild stretch of water to the place where he was born 92 years ago. "I would like to put my feet down there one more time, but I wonder, is it possible?" Frankly, it seems crazy to try. The Great Blasket is famous throughout the world as a place where a remarkable community once lived, but it is remote, empty and inaccessible for most of the year. We are in the far west of Ireland and the weather is turning bad, making the ground treacherous underfoot. Dr Carney walks with a shuffle and wears a brace for his back. He is standing on the headland, looking out at the Blasket Sound. Under those waves there are many wrecks. To get to the island, the old man will have to negotiate a wet quayside, a rubber dinghy, a sharp climb up into a converted fishing boat and an hour's journey by sea, buffeted by the Atlantic waves. Then he will face the dinghy again and the derelict island slipway, slick with seaweed, leading to a steep rock path as slippery as ice. Yet he says: "I have the determination within me to do this." He has come a long way already to reach this point; more than three thousand miles from his retirement home in Massachusetts, then down the coast of Ireland from the airport to the far tip of the Dingle Peninsula, a finger of land that points back west. "I can't get the island out of my mind," says Dr Carney, with the strong accent of a man who grew up speaking only Gaelic and who has never let the language go. "I dream about the island at night. I dream about the way it was when we were young." The Great Blasket island was abandoned 60 years ago, as the result of a tragedy that had broken the hearts of the Carney family and their fellow islanders. The evacuation took place on 17 November 1953. Nobody has lived there permanently since. The houses are ruins. So what is calling Mike Carney now? Why is he risking his life to get back? ruclips.net/video/D7gw78SWlNw/видео.html

Vi åkte fraktbåt från Galway till Inishmore. Nerför lejdaren roddes iland i en curraugh. Ingen hamn. Häst och vagn. ingen el. svarta vadmalskläder. Många pratade Gaelic Vi bodde hos ett par en bit in på ön. Vi satt vid torvbrasan och lyssnade på en massa om Aran -öarna och livet där.om Hur man gjorde de små åkerlapparna med hjälp av sand och tång som togs upp ur atlanten vi höststormarna. Ett materiellt fattigt folk men rika vad det gäller musik och berättelser av olika slag och tillverkning av Aran-tröjorna av den egna mycket feta ullen. Fisket i atlanten förstås

why none almost never mentioned the blarney stone where you can lean backwards and kiss the stone in hope that you will be speaking well in social cirkumstances for example

Långa åror. Man får tvärsa händerna när man ror. Jag var där 1969. Från Galway med fraktbåt till inishmore, utan hamn naturligtvis. Jag hade irländskt sällskap med en vän ut till ön vilket tror jag inverkade på hur trippen föll ut för min del. Fantaskiska upplevelser i det vardagliga på ön ställt mot det Svenska som jag kom ifrån

Like a scene from Father Ted a place so bleak even the seagulls don't bother to land.

Disturbing how the women who upon seeing the camera cower away or cover their faces. They are not suppressed in their Island culture, yet has similarities with women of Islamic culture. The whole scene seems nice but they are a people who have to endure hardship

love this

Geallaim doibh nár labhair siad focal bearla lena chéile sna currachaí an lá sin.

God bless the Republic of Ireland and their Irish language. Freedom & peace be upon them.

It was filmed Lettercallow, Co. Galway I think.

Caledonia is not an irish song. Nice video thought

Thanks for sharing.👍

I used to load the ship with the gas barrels fir Aranislands. Beautiful place before tourism spoilt it.

I'm proud of my Irish roots, although my family was from Cloonlavis.

Why anyone would want to live there is beyond me

Wow nice film ill watch this again thanks for sharing

Wow your place is very interesting to me the kids are brave to ride in a small boat Me im not that brave enough i don know how to swim just incase

A very Scottish back ground tune, but as a Scot I'm happy

So they have a guy hold the cow w a rope and tow him to the bigger boat, they dont even bother to put a hook on the boat to hold the rope the man has to hold it with his hands ,geez

Fantastic to watch. Some of the women at the end, shying away from the camera, shows a little reflection of a more innocent culture and times. Times of community and spirit, of high morals and values, etc, that sadly, commercialism, materialism and capitalist greed, are slowly eroding away. We now focus too much on 'self, self, self' with a 'I'm alright Jack' attitude, in society today, isolating ourselves from any community spirit. We have much to learn/re-learn from these wonderful people and their focus on family and community.

6:09 "I like living on the island because of the freedom ... from the clock" Amen

Great video. Thank you. ☘️🌝🌲

The Islanders are still toughing it out fair play to them. Aran is kind of too big to fail. Where all of the other smaller island off the coast of Conamara were abandoned (or had bridges built onto them). The Aran Islands have managed to keep the population, thank God. Thank God also that those old piseogaì about everything have been more or less dropped.

go raith ma agat

Go raibh maith agat as seo a roinnt!

The video tells the history of the island so i am going to visit inis meain

Just finished reading 'Pieces of Land (Journeys to Eight Islands)' by Kevin Crossley-Holland, an absorbing read for anybody fascinated by island life and history (however romantically !) - the last chapter is about his stay on Inishmore - also includes stays on Lundy, Tory, Hoy, Eigg, St. Agnes, Alderney and Lindisfarne - all around early 70's too, so very different experience to now. Highly recommended.

I'd say Blasket Islands

min 11:30 the guy running is that David Kelly the irish actor from Ned Divine ?

i was named after this island :3

when is that taking place ?

My dad's dad was from the Aran Islands. This was great. Thanks.

The safest vessel that ever rode the waves, but you have to know how to handle her.

No I was
