Subject: RE: ROCKS OF BAWN - MEANING?
Hi,

Actually Mick, I have a confession to make. I don't speak gaelic, I know a few words, but I have a dictionary. I wasn't given the option of learning it in school. But one of the local Irish clubs is starting lessons. So at long last I'm going to learn, in Australia!!

I have never heard of "Bourne" and it doesn't exist on my maps, maybe you're thinking of the "Burren" which isa large area of limestone (white rock)which looks like the surface of the moon. It is on the West Coast in County Clare.

Slainte
