Inis Oirr

The smallest of the Aran Islands, Inis Oirr was our first destination for today. 

A boat ride brought us to the port and this sign making it clear that a driver needed to be careful.
We took a house and buggy tour to the highlights of the Island including this shipwreck from the 1960's
And O'Brien Castle dating to the 1400's.
As around much of Ireland, stone gates clearly mark property lines and pastures where livestock graze.

The Aran Islands are famous for their cabled knit wear made from local sheep.

Fishermen in this area go to sea on these black bottomed boats called currach.
This quaint Island, like its sister islands reflect Irish culture at its finest.
