What's with all the stiles?
Walking around the Irish landscape (and possibly other countries), did you ever wonder about what the stiles in walls and fences were for? Here's an interesting example which diverges from the usual hiking trail or graveyard wall stile.

Toberbreedia: Saint Bridget's Well

St Bridget's Well (or St. Brigid's Well) in Toberbreedia, parish of Ballycallan, one of the holy wells which got offended by people's behaviour and moved location. According to the literature of the 19th and early 20th century, it was mostly forgotten about, but people visit it now (again) and ask for the water for cures.

    Interesting little tour. i loved the apple tree and picturing it for the house. The sign on the stile, I believe it said Bóthar Coill, means the road to the wood or wood road or something like that. And isn't that the one that has the stepping stone over onto a path into the wood?

    • @OSM4HistoryBuffs
      @OSM4HistoryBuffs 2 дні тому

      If you wanted to cross the stream, they all link up with the path that now is the Loop Walk and that eventually leads into Uppercourt Demesne, but I don't think that was publically accessible in the past, when it was a bishop's residence or later a manor house. Further towards Tullaroan is also the townland of Boherkyle (begins just after the entrance into Uppercourt House), and there is a bit of old road (now only leads into one or two farms, I believe) which is also referred to as Boherkyle by the locals.

    This is great im trying to build out my own walking / hiking trails app with react native and expo. Iv gotten mapbox integrated well with my app itself and built out all the authentication and UI / navigation. Now I need to add in real trail data from OSM so I can then display like custom cards or pins with trail data on all the trails in the U.S. Is there any process like you show where i can download all the data I need and built it out on my app? I know AllTrails uses a tileset server with all the OSM tiles they downloaded to use on there app but was not sure if there would be an easier way to do this without having to have a separate server just for the OSM tile data. Hopefully this makes sense im looking for some assistance on this question. Great Video, learned a lot. Thank you!

    Another point......the thing about hiding in tunnels and Soutterains. Us Picts, have them, and we also have ghe circle forts, and Brochs, similar ti the Nurragis of Sardinia. The Romans eradicated the HQ of the 'Sea Peoples' in AD 100, after Carthiginia, and the Punic Wars. We must appreciate, that the Celt warrior culture, stretched as far as Thracia, in Anatolia, and the Romans, spent a couple of thousand years, rolling back and annihalting all Celtic cultures. They simply hated us, because we were the best individual fighters, on the planet. They never did, realise that Dynastic Dream, of eradicating the last military stronghold, in Alba, (Scotland), even after 400 years. BUT THEIR LEGACY OF UNIVERSAL CATHOLOCISM, did, quietly, eradicate our culture, after the 1100s, by destroying most of our historical artefacts. So, yes, all Celts, who survived the Romans, eventually ended up in Scotland, and that is why, the Romans built three times as many Forts, in Scotland, allied with there walls, than in fighting any other Celtic culture. Consequently, the 'tunnel' metaphor, became our children's bedtime story, for overseas invaders, like my Vikinger ancestors. Firepsych@gmx.co.uk

    Can I jusy say this...thanks very much......I think you are correct obout the Danan ref, because in Scotland, the 'Danes' were known as Fresians, as in Dumfries (The Fort of the Fresians), and Fresian cattle. Also the word Viking, is not a noun, but an adjective. It denoted raiders from the sea, just as Scotti, denoted the same, coming from Ireland. Since my gene pool, originated in Stockholm, 2, 000 years ago, and Budapest, (Hun), at a similar time, but importantly, my ancestors were in Rathlin island, 3,700 years ago, at least, and I am 40% of Greek ancestry also. So, it looks like the Vikingers, may have came to Rathlin island, set up a community there, possibly with a Greek 'Eve', and yhenceforth became part of the Atlantic Facade, the sea peoples, who moved on up to Sweden and then back to invade England, as the Anglo Saxons, AD 400, where my ancestors also are based, in, (Thames/Cambridge, Hul, York). Thesewarrior Celts, also invaded Belfast, initially, and are the Rb1, psychopaths. (Yes, maybe even me)...... And have the Hemochromatosis and blue eyes...(Also me!) gene.

For example, I recently came across an already-mapped board with these tags: (board_type=history, information=board, tourism=information) and I took a photo of it. Am I allowed to take a photo of it and put it on Wikimedia Commons or does copyright apply (or is there a better option than Wikimedia for this purpose).

    • @OSM4HistoryBuffs
      @OSM4HistoryBuffs 4 місяці тому

      I don't see why copyright would be an issue, depending on where you live, it should fall under "freedom of panorama". If the information panel itself says something about copyright and sharing restrictions (I have never seen that), you have to respect those, of course. If for some reason, you don't want to use Wikimedia, you can use Flickr or any other platform where you don't have to log in to see content (like Facebook) and use the "image" key with the image url as the value. There is also an option to add image:license to the node. And I don't seem to have done any other videos on that topic, but I should, I suppose. Using SC is a bit awkward.
