Accidentally stumbled upon this little medieval laneway today in the heart of #Wexford Town. It's known as Keyser's Lane; deriving from Old Norse meaning ‘lane to the quays’. Many of the old Norse towns of Ireland contain either a street/lane/hill with the word 'Keyser' in it.

Petticoat Loose was a feared supernatural woman in Waterford folklore. Many tales link her to the Comeragh Mountains, but this version, recorded in Cappoquin, takes a stranger turn. A priest had heard of the destruction she was causing at Carriglibein. 1/4

St. Moling's Holy Well is located in the historic ecclesiastical village of St. Mullins, #Carlow. The well is first referenced in the year 1348; in those days, thousands would flock to the well to wash away their sins and seek protection from the black plague.

From Irish roots in the west of Ireland 🇮🇪, Bernardo O’Higgins rose to become a central figure in Chile’s struggle for independence 🇨🇱. He helped turn the tide against Spanish rule in 1818 and went on to serve as the country’s first head of state.
