Eire-IN Origins: rathlin bog / Rattlin' Bog / Rattling Bog (66* d) RE: Origins: rathlin bog 20 Mar 03


Yes, I researched and had also found information on the island, but no reference to a bog on the island. However, it may be a given that there is one.

So what does the Irish adjective rattlin' mean?

I know that when the song is sung it sounds like and is probably written as Rattlin' Bog, but I thought that the island being Raithlin that the lyrics were just a slur
