about

The title means the western island and refers to the Great Blasket Island off the coast of Kerry in the south west of Ireland. An Blascaod Mór was inhabited until 1953 by a completely Irish-speaking population. At its peak, the islands had 175 residents. The population had declined to 22 by 1953 and the government evacuated the remaining residents to the mainland that year. A number of great books were written by islanders, recording much of the islands' traditions and way of life, including An tOileánach (The Islandman) by Tomás Ó Criomhthain, Peig by Peig Sayers and Fiche Blian ag Fás (Twenty Years A-Growing) by Muiris Ó Súilleabháin. You can take a boat out there from Dunquin and it’s a beautiful, lonely, magical place full of ghostly memories.
