    A Brilliant city. As a born and Bred Scouser I have found the people of Belfast to be very much like ourselves. No nonsense but vey genuine and friendly. I have spent a lot of time in the city over the last 20 yrs and I just Love the place.

    Never mentioned Kelly’s cellars where the United Irishmen had their secret meetings. That pub is steeped in history.

      Sing with me... ... If you remember this - made in 1970s:
      "I come from India to Belfast Town:
      Im darling handsome and my skin is Brown:
      I got no money but Im ready to work and I got me a House in GillNaaHurk"
      "Oh Belfast Belfast wonderful town - it doesnt matter if yer skin is brown: Oh Belfast Belfast ~ I love You; if your out of work ya can get da Bru" . . . .

    So, the good old 2nd Marquis of Donegall lost Belfast to gambling?

    Belfast is a 5000 year old town, the statistic 1600 was when the British first started immigrating to Belfast .

      The whole island is part of British isles. People have always moved to and from all its large or small isles.
