Thread Name: Origins: rathlin bog / Rattlin' Bog / Rattling Bog
Subject: RE: Origins: rathlin bog
"Rattling" in this context means "fine". Nothing to do with Rathlin Island. (I'd be very surprised if that has a bog anyway.)

Incidentally the tune is the one generally used for the Dance "The Siege of Ennis"
