The Milesians part 1: Breoghán's Tower

The Milesians are coming! Discover the mythical ancestors of the Gaelic Irish and their journey from the city known today as A Coruña in Galicia. Íth sees a mysterious island across the sea from atop his father's tower in the north west Iberian settlement of Brigantia. Despite the discouragement of the elders, he and his nephew Míl forge a plan to sail to this magical land that one day will be known as Ireland. We talk about the Book of Invasions, real life prehistoric migrations, the place lore of Galicia, the camino, generational conflict and, unlikely church music. credits Written, presented and produced  by Marcas Ó hUiscín and Stephanie Ní Thiarnaigh.
