The influence of its shared Gaelic stories with Ireland can still be felt today. This episode, Dr Geraldine Parsons introduces us to this amazing literature through the medieval Irish Finn Cycle (Fiannaíocht; Senchas na Fèinne) - the stories of legendary hero, Fionn Mac Cumhaill – and how these tales even touch our very landscape. Want to check out the stories Geraldine mentioned in this episode?
