I've just discovered this video now and it is wonderful - thank you to all involved for making it a decade ago. I was fortunate enough to take my Dad around the Glens 20 years ago and it still remains one of my most favourite memories (my family emigrated from Cushendall to Canada almost 200 years ago). I can't wait to go back.
I'm a long distance runner and I've run the glens several times and it's the deep history and visual remains from our ancestors that make these runs so special. Thanks for the video.

My family, McBride hails from here, landed in South Carolina, 1768. My ancestor was Hugh McBride...Id give anything to come to Antrim. We as Irish Americans are so very neglected of our heritage, it's overwhelming to finally learn and see our ancestral home. Thank you for this video.
The ring of Kerry arnt as breath taking as the glens of antim 'I not bumming it up but I think it's the most beautiful place in the whole of Ireland 'when you take into consideration the beautiful coast road leading to the glens of antim 'show me somewhere as nice ''no I didn't think so 'stevie
My family always said that we were known as The Lords of the Antrim Glens with our traditional homes at Dunluce and later Glen Arm. We were granted lands of the Antrim Glens by a charter received from Margaret who married into the MacDonald family on Islay. Margaret was a daughter of Robert ll, the Stewart family's King of Scotland following Robert the Bruce. After Sorley Boy came to Antrim from Isla to claim his inheritance of land, he defeated the McQuillans and won Dunluce. And so since the late 16th century, Dunluce was property of the McDonnells. Our link to the family is through my maternal grandmother, Rose (Roisen) McDonnell, daughter of Owen McDonnell and son of the Earl, Randall McDonnell (I think). There were about 25 cousins in my baby-boom generation alone living all over the U.S. from Massachusetts to the California Coast. God bless all here! Robert John MacDonnell.
My 6th greatgrandfather was. Born in Antrim.about1750 he then emigrated to the US and was a continental soldier in the war fI f independence. We know nothing about his years in Antrim. I don't know0 why except he. Hated the english but it is a beautiful countryside. And looks so peacefull and gfeen. He later had a flour mill and a blacksmith shop. Gave land for a university.
I recently discovered through the ancestry website that I had ancestors from there, So I hopped on TH-cam to see what I could find. This was a really wonderful video - Dominic is such an interesting speaker!
Nice! I was up and down that coast last year. We had a family reunion in Ballycastle and visited some friends in Cushendun. Her house is on the video at 23.36. Sláinte
My Blair kin left the Kilwaughter village area and left for America on ship, The Earl of Donegal and arrived in Charleston, South Carolina in 1769. They had land grants from the King to land in Chester County near Fishing Creek.
Lovely video, thank you. I can trace my ancestry way back, to quite ancient Antrim. So, I very much enjoyed finding this documentary and footage of this beautiful land and its rich history.
It would have been good to have shown the duns, sutterains, raths and what is distinctive about them. The salt working and coal working near Ballycastle. Dalriada, the connections with Scotland, hurling, gallowglass warriors. The abandonment of the hills and the visible remains of potato famine, Garron tower, and the building of the Antrim coast road. The unique heritage of Antrim Gaelic. So much history in our beautiful county. More videos please!
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 Not happening. Clan Donald is very well established and not going anywhere soon. And there are native Irish McDonnells too, so you can't be sure who you are dealing with by the name.
+Moonsabie Aw jaysus,,,wow.. =)) ,,i come from McDonnells...my people moved down from Antrim to county Clare but then later ,,,,on to america. I have no idea why other than the Cromwell take-over. I have no other explanation . My people were indeed McDonnells.(my great grandmothers people) they.moved into Clare...sometime later the coast of Virginia. Then later became of course McDaniel. But-- wow...thank you I find this very interesting. My Grandmothers mothers family were these people---her fathers people were Cork people. O'Callaghan. ♥ My OTHER granny...her family came from Westmeath/Longford
The McDonnell s were one of the ruling families with castles like kinbane and Dunseverick dotted along the coast. The English made it a hostile environment for them.
Is there any list of the place names mentioned? Some of them I'm having trouble finding or even spelling, such as the one at 4:12, Taboolya? I was brought up in Ballymena and even I'm having bother! 😂
Complete and utter shite, the natives of antrim are the Irish the scottish and English only arrived in the glens in the 17th century and dna testing on skeletons from the bronze age shows the Irish are those people. Irish developed as its own unique culture and people over several thousand years, its in every place name and name. If you're not from that real Irish stock you're not a native of Antrim.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 if a people integrate to society they will eventually become natives with past links ... but if you totally seperate yourself from the natives and butcher starve and abuse them well then u fail to integrate and stay as a seperate race The offspring of those criminals r still waving their flags, marching past native homes and still as racist and sectarian as ever
@@MichaelTheophilus906 yo its actually hostility towards catholics with threats from politicians and paramilitaries The war here was always political, the irish want the brits out as they up hold a racist government
@@MichaelTheophilus906 The native Americans in the past would have disagreed with that. And again historically Irish and British weren't considered the same race especially in the tudor period when Ireland was colonized. Also the US did have tribal warfare between different settlers in the past from mainly europe.
That's exactly why the English won . devision among the celts . Scots migrated from Ireland . my mom's was Scots and my dad was Irish. And yes I trace my mom side to the scots of Antrim . they migrated from Ulster to America in 1742 and fought for independence in the south carilina militia at King's mountain and several other battles he was captain John l Dickey
Thank god for that! Who the hell wants be Irish, a so called nation that will soon be a insignificant minority in was Ireland that is now a fiefdom of the German / French hegemony called the EU.Your language is dying , your brith rate has collapsed below replacement level, and your is expecting a million third world migrant to arrive. You guys are screwed.
@@royalirishranger1931 "Your language is dying" Our language died centuries ago, we speak mostly Hiberno-English- IRISH ENGLISH. The idea that the Irish are being replaced with immigrants is nonsense. Id say Northern Ireland has more to worry about than Ireland does, with the growing number of Catholics in the north already outnumbering the British settlers.

Would your family be from the vow outside ballymoney because a lot of them immigrated to South Carolina in 1768 and onwards my granda is from the vow
@@MichaelTheophilus906 sorry Michael I should have said but I was replying to the original comment sorry
Mine. Landed in Nofth Carolina. Before 1776. I have reason to think 1768 also.
What. is the vow?
@@s.leemccauley7302 it's an area/small villiage outside ballymoney a town in county Antrim northern ireland
McBride is a common surname in Ulster,my home province.
Living 25 years in Thailand but still love hearing the Antrim accent and the beautiful scenery.

Excellent documentary. The Glens of Antrim, like the Ring of Kerry and Connemara in Galway is among the most special parts of old Ireland.

A really pretty place. I am sure the residents appreciate the scenery.
July 11th 1768 my 6th grandfather was born here and died in Pennsylvania , USA in 1845. Don't know much more. Wish I did.
My Blair kin left the Kilwaughter village area and left for America on ship, The Earl of Donegal and arrived in Charleston, South Carolina in 1769. They had land grants from the King to land in Chester County near Fishing Creek.
Margaret Junkin married a Blair and came to Fishing Creek in the 1700s. Along with the Fergusons.

Good job Kieran.
my mother is a McDonnell I can not figure out why my great great grandfather ever left to America. 1845
+Moonsabie , sadly most left because they were starving. Otherwise they never would have left this magical place.
