David Ingerson Lyr Req: The Shores of Lough Bran (29) RE: Lyr Req: The Shores of Lough Bran 05 Jan 08

Hey guest! Thanks for that info. I transcribed the verse about Harknett's green hill over 20 years ago and I have no idea how accurately I transcribed it, or, for that matter, how geographically accurate the singer was. I'll have to see if I can find that old tape and play it again to see if it might actually have been Farnagh's green hill.

I found Lough Bran on Google maps and Farnagh is indeed just to the south of it and there appears to be a fairly substantial hill just to the east of the lough, which might just be Farnagh's green hill.

Thanks again, and I'll be sure to get myself there sometime--maybe this May when I'll be in Ireland again.

David
