🗺️ Townlands of the World

These are notable townlands — the oldest land divisions in the Gaelic world, small historic units whose Irish, Scottish and Manx names describe the bare rocks, fords, woods and farms of a hillside, still the address on the rural mailbox a thousand years on. Each profile shows where the townland sits, which county it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
