021: Wool & Wonder: The History of Sheep in Ireland

In this episode, we lace up our boots and step into the bogs, hills, and high pastures of Ireland to trace the humble sheep’s extraordinary journey through five thousand years of Irish life.From the first hardy flocks brought by Neolithic farmers, to the monastic monks who spun fleece into holy robes, to the famine-weary shepherds of the 1800s — this is not just a story of wool and weather. It’s a tale of survival, silence, and soft-footed resilience.Strap Yer Boots invites you to walk alongside the flock — and see Irish history from the hillside up.Instagram @strapyerbootsWebsite strapyerboots.comContact [email protected]
