- I'm back in County Kerry exploring a very special island on the Shannon Estuary and recounting a folklore story of a fisherman stranded on the island some 200 years ago during the construction of a gun battery, built to defend against a Napoleonic invasion.

I'm currently looking for traditional artists to produce illustrations to be integrated into future videos in this series to bring to life key moments within the story. If you're an artist with experience drawing landscapes and historical/fantasy characters and were inspired by this video then get in touch via my website: mossybottom.ie. I'd love to hear from you!
My wifes an artist locally ill let her know
don't forget to plant the Hawthorne seeds
I would love to illustrate one of the stories! I have always loved fantasy stories and you are an amazing storyteller!
I would be honored to illustrate any of your tales Daniel, youre an amazing storyteller. I love listening to you!
Do you have any advice to anyone wanting to leave the rat race for Ireland
Such a sad and beautiful tale. You have a gift for telling stories.
True
Indeed! I could listen for hours 🌿
Love this series. Such a beautiful country
Thats actually the least scenic part of county kerry
And everywhere those ugly windmills
My goodness, you are such a storyteller. I know you are single, but after some of these heartfelt, intimate and evocative videos there are surely women who have fallen for you very hard. Thank you so much for sharing your gift and for being so unafraid to put your introverted self out there. As a fellow introvert - it's admirable and courageous. I hope you see this comment!
You are an enchanting storyteller! Happy Birthday to you! I hope you have a wonderful day!
your telling of Irish fairy tales never fails to draw out a tear or two. thank you.
What a lovely story!! My ancestors are Irish and love seeing the country side and listening to the stories through you're eyes. Greetings from a sunny South Africa
You have a knack for storytelling, with your rather calm energy.
Utterly spell binding. Even though this was sad I feel enlivened from your depth of feeling while telling the story. I feel that you have a bit of magic about you, with your ability to grip us so profoundly.
Oh he does have a wee bit of magic in him. We are seeing this. How wonderful is that!!!!!!
Wow I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and your amazing storytelling skills. Wonderful
video!
Even though I'm wondering how anyone knows this is a true story if the man died, you're such a good story teller I'm still crying my eyes out!
Er, a true story?
There was a magic fairy, the ghost of his dead wife and a baby which materialised out of thin air..!!
So I strongly suspect the 'Truth-o-meter' would say no way....!!!
@@andymccabe6712 On the other hand...it's Ireland!
Or why he didn’t seek shelter in the newly finished Battery.🧐
I think you heard this story first in the local pub ! Such an old fashioned country folk tale - reminds me of days in my great grandmother's kitchen with hot scones & butter, a fire going in the old black stove, and plenty of kids arguing about nothing ! And I'm 82 now & that memory was in London, but the old life was so similar everywhere in those days !
Goosebumps Daniel goosebumps. Greetings from Enniskillen
Love Ireland...love Mossy Bottom... love the stories- my heart is singing. ❤
Maith an fear arÍs Daniel. You're turning into a true seanchaÍ! Much as I wish you success I hope you never change as you are such an inspiration on so many levels to so many people. Go n-eirí an bothar leat go deo.
A wonderful, haunting tale, well told.
Another fabulous tale Daniel thankyou
Thank you for this shudderingly beautiful tale .
Oh Daniel, you have such a gift for bringing these tales to life! Along with so many other gifts you have and share. Thank you so much.
You're a natural storyteller, Daniel. Love the music and the crow in the crucial point of the story! The drone shots are fabulous, as always.
Love Mossy Bottom and his story telling wonderful would just love to be in Ireland right now.Away from It all will watch on later.Just relaxing 😌 wonderful Ireland peace ☮️
Whew, I struggled with this one. Came to UA-cam for solace from the exhaustion of having an incredibly poorly 1 year old and yet here we are. Yet, I could turn away and have thoroughly enjoyed the story. Thank you
Daniel, I love your storytelling. In fact, I love your channel & recommend it to others often. Even increased my patron amount after watching this which I should have done long ago. Please keep up the great work. We adore your channel & you 🌀🦋💙
Brilliant as ever Daniel and a brilliant story teller, I'm sure Ireland's RTE national broadcaster has its own program equivalent to the UK BBC's jackanory. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of southern Ireland, county Kerry, the cliffs of Dooneen and the mighty salmon River Shannon. The Mississippi and Missouri rivers of Ireland. Have a listen to the song by the late Liam Clancy of the Clancy brothers and Thomas Makem era, a song called Shenandoah you'll find it on UA-cam Daniel. Enjoy!!!
Daniel, you are an enthralling storyteller, just mesmerizing! Thank you for this series.
amazing))) so good feeling after, thank you for sharing......please continue) appreciate your good spirit touches on me
Watching this video made me want to settle in this place for the rest of my life
I visited there in the summer. A lovely spot.
this was brilliant yet again. stay safe on coastal fishing
Happy birthday Daniel. Keep up the good work. Enjoying the calendar too👍
On summer solstice every year there is a festival on the hill of Tara. Kind of like a pagan ritual and very spiritual, I know it's a long drive for you but imo Tara is one of the most beautiful places on earth I hope you can visit sometime!
Thank you so much for this wonderful story.
Omg nearly shat myself when the wife appeared in the boat!😱👻 Amazing story though, really loving this series of stories - thank you :)
So, so enjoyed this story! Thank you!
You are such a riveting story teller!
Thank you for this tale! You are a born story teller🙏
Your videos get better and better! Loved it..thank you :)
What a wonderful story! And well told too. Good for you for taking a bit of time to relax and enjoy life.
So enjoyed your wonderful story Thanks for sharing🇨🇦♥️
You are truly talented my friend!
This tale certainly reflects the wild climate , the harsh terrain, the struggle the Irish people have to bear with that. Their Fairy tales and quite macho superstitions, the pain,the fear, the guilty feelings. Also their relentless bravery to survive and their generosity. It is nice you have gone to same place to tell the folklore tale although it is now a barren land instead of a woodland. It is quite difficult to try to translate your thoughts into a different language of yours but I think I am understood. The tale has touched me. Thanks for sharing your performance on the spot that makes the tale more true.
So lovely, Daniel. Your storytelling keeps getting better and better. I grew up reading folktales from other countries, and appreciate that many do not have typical happy endings. What a fascinating place...there is nothing like standing at 'Land's End', facing the great, wide ocean (even if for me it's the Pacific). I have studied the Napoleonic Wars, and an invasion of Ireland was a consideration. Thank you for bringing us along on your travels. Cheers from California.
What a wonderful story and how wonderfully told. I am glued in my seat watching your video. Thank you for the gift of storytelling so amazing.
I can listen to you talking/speaking all day regardless the subject matter :)
BRAVO!!!!! An absolute pleasure to hear your tales, thank you!
Oh my, that was so beautiful. You are, indeed, gifted in so many ways. Thank you for sharing with the world. Blessings.
Oh!!!! I just loved this! Thank you so much!
What a terrific story. There's often a wee bit of truth in those old legends...did you ever catch that pollock?
You had me all the way though to the delightful ending :) Terrific story ... thank you for sharing with us!!
you are a fabulous storyteller, modern-day seanchaí. Thank you so much, I really enjoyed listening
Amazing scenery and story telling. I could listen to you for hours.
Love you telling this stories.
A lovely tale Daniel. You are a great story teller.
Oh goodness! We were totally transported into a magical space and time! And you kindly offered us food for thought!
You are a great creator and story teller. This is even better than a podcast because of the visuals. Thank you 🙏
You have the perfect story-telling voice. Beautiful scenic shots.
Happy Birthday Daniel! thanks for the new video!
Hi Daniel, so love seeing the places you visit, my ancestors are Irish, think that's why I love rocks so much, wishes for health and safety for you, from Tennessee.
Irish playwright and freedom fighter Brenda's behan...when asked why he spent all of his time writing about ireland and living elsewhere replied...."ireland wud b a great country if you could shaggy rocks"...classic.
Very nice! Thank you 😊
What a beautiful Fairy Tale, i love it !
Ohhh my what a fascinating story very sad though I’m going to rewatch the video. You have unbelievable talent. I’ve never heard of that island in Kerry. Thank you so much for all your amazing work. I look forward to seeing you
It seems to me a country of beautiful landscapes and with many possibilities for anyone who likes the theme of the channel
What a storyteller! Thank you for this one, too!
thank you for this.....this is meditational...your skill of tellig story and connecting with real nature and those drone footage is more than perfect......your voice is also very soothing.....just bring more contents like this.....your content is most enjoyable on big 4k screen

I love the way you tell these stories. Seeing the places you're talking about and hearing the sounds of nature there as you're talking just compliments the stories so well. Thank you for sharing these stories with us. You're really great at engaging your audience
Another excellent video , you have a great natural manner for storytelling . I know how the children must felt when they listened to Hans Christian Andersen . Keep them coming 👍👍👍
It’s a cold Sunday morning, hot tea in hand, feet up and I’m totally engrossed in Mossy Bottom life!!
I do believe I have just listened to this episode without blinking or moving…. Immersed completely.
Thank you 🙏🏼🍀💚
Wow place is stunning. Love Castles and Ireland!

Great story and video. That location is very close to the Colleen Bawn location. Just over the river in Clare.
That was an awesome tale! Thank you.
So very good, thank you!
Wow! do you ever have the Irish gift for storytelling❣ I am always saddened by the incredible loss of trees in Ireland as I too live on an island, Vancouver Island and I see the potential for this to happen here lately as well, so much thoughtless development🥺 Thank you for these beautiful stories☘☘☘
