Our day at the Ulster-American folk
park was quite interesting. The park is dedicated to the migration of man and
women from the Ulster region of Ireland to the United States. Our first on our
tour through the park was in the small museum that provided a lot of contextual
information. Dr. Threadgill, as always, provided us with a pertinent information
as he guided us through the museum. The next part of the day we spent wandering
around in small groups through the many buildings scattered across the compound.
It was interesting to step into the past as we entered the family homesteads
and barns. In some instances, we were met with a park staff member on the ready
to explain the significance of the building, and provide us with a better
understanding of life in those times. We even got a chance to try some tradition
fire cooked soda break with butter. (It was delightful!) After some time
experience the old shops and storefronts we came upon something surprising. The
Ulster-American folk part had imported a cabin from the Appalachian region to
be displayed in the part. For us living in the Great Smoky Mountains currently it
felt a little bit like a stroll through Cades Cove! After a few hours of
experiencing the park we convened in the park’s café to have a nice shared meal
together. It was a location that is extremely relevant to our current studies
of Celtic Connections. There is no questioning that our home in the Appalachia was
first settled and partly shaped by Scots-Irish immigrants. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Before we arrived at the distillery we drove by Dunlace Castle. After the castle, we continued to the distillery where we learned how whiskey is distilled and made. Sadly, there were no photos allowed in the distillery. <br />

Pictured above is Dunlace Castle. You may notice that it seems to be falling into the sea. </div>
<br />
After the distillery, we traveled to the Giant's Causeway. The Giant's Causeway is a natural basalt formation on the coast of Northern Ireland. The myth is that a Giant, named Finn, built a bridge over to Scotland to battle another Giant. When Finn got to the other side, he realized that the other Giant was too large to he ran back across the Causeway and the other Giant followed him. Finn then hid from the other Giant with the help of his wife, and the other Giant went back across to Scotland destroying the causeway leaving behind the remnants that people can see now today.<br />
I would have to say that the Giant's Causway was definitely my favorite part of our trip thus far!<br />
<br />
Pictured below are photographs from the Giant's Causeway.<br />

At the Brownlow House we met up with George Patton who is a member of the Orange Order and the director of the Armagh Community Development. We also got the chance to meet Carla Lockheart who is one of the few female MLA's, which stands for member of the Local Assembly, in Northern Ireland's government.<br />

After meeting with Carla, we went on a tour of the Brownlow House. The house is what's known as a calendar house. A calendar house is a house that contains architectural elements in quantities that represent numbers of days in a year, weeks in a year, months in a year, and days in a week. For example, Brownlow House has 365 rooms which is the number of how many days are in a year. As mentioned before the house is also an Orange Lodge and has been since after World War II. This caused the house to be targeted during the "Troubles," it was burned badly after an IRA attack in 1996 and now is only partially restored to it's former glory. Fun History Fact: The Brownlow House also acted as Dwight Eisenhower's headquarters for the European theatre in World War II. He even planned the Normandy Invasion in the house. </div>

<br /></div>

Once we left the Brownlow House, we traveled onto Dan Winters' Cottage which is where the Battle of the Diamond took place during the 1700's. It's also known as the place when orangeism was born. We were also fed a wonderful lunch by Hilda Winters. She also shared with us the story of her family, what transpired at the Battle of the Diamond, and how they transformed the cottage into museum. </div>

After the cottage, we went to the Sloan House which is a museum about the Orange Order. It's even believed that the Orange Order was created in the house. We also engaged in a Q&A with members from the Orange Order. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We then visited a Lambeg Drum Maker, David Alexander, who hand-makes Lambeg Drums. Check them out below. There are very few Lambeg Drum makers in Northern Ireland, so it was quite a treat getting to meet Mr. Alexander! By the time we left, we all thought Maryville College should get one of these for the pep band!<br />

After our visit to the drum marker we headed over to George Patton's local Orange Lodge where we were served a lovely dinner by the Aughlish Ulster-Scots Group. After dinner we were taught some traditional Scottish folk dances! I'll upload a video later so keep an eye out!</div>

We received a tour of the site and the church next door by local historian. We also looked at the various surnames of the Ulster plantation whom many immigrated to Appalachia. <br />

After we visited the Ulster-Scots Center, we drove into the town of Londonderry, also referred to as Derry, where we met up with a playwright friend of Dr. Threadgill and Dr. Schmied and went to the Siege Museum. The Siege Museum is a museum about the siege that took place at Londonderry between the Jacobite army of King James and the Protestant citizens of Londonderry. Many people gave up their lives to protect their freedom of religion and the siege was eventually lifted. The museum is run by the group the "Apprentice Boys" who work to sustain the memory of what happened during the Siege of Londonderry. Their name comes from the group of young men who closed the gates at Londonderry essentially beginning the Seige. The organization today works to preserve the history of the Seige and they throw two parades each year: one when the Seige began and when the Seige ended. </div>

Once we left the museum, we went on a walking tour of the walls around the city of Londonderry. We focused on the Troubles and how the Troubles effected the city of Londonderry throughout the years. We saw some of the walls that were put up to separate the Republican and Loyalist communities and that are still up today. We also discussed how the Troubles effected daily life in Northern Ireland. It was also interesting to see some of the places that the Siege Museum taught us about in real life like the Bastions, which are sections of the wall pictured below. </div>

They greeted us with a member playing the bagpipes and awesome sandwiches! We then received a presentation from their teaching correspondent about who the Ulster-Scots are and the history behind their immigration to and from Ireland. We even talked briefly about the Ulster-Scots and how some of them immigrated to Appalachia to seek religious freedom! They sent us off on our city tour with the bag pipes playing Auld Lange Syne.<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
After eating lunch with the Ulster-Scots Agency we headed off on a bus for an official tour of Belfast! We drove around the city and our bus driver even took us into West Belfast, which is where some of the Troubles took place. Even though the city is at peace currently many of the "peace" walls are still up and many are painted with murals depicting figures of peace, human rights issues around the world, or major events that happened during the Troubles. It was quite moving to see the murals and the walls that are still standing tall separating the city. It was very interesting to hear our bus driver's perspective on the walls and on the Troubles. He believes that in the next five years or so the walls in Belfast will come down.<br />

Even though the murals have been around for a while, new murals are still added today. More recently, this mural in remembrance of the hate crime that took place last summer in Orlando, Florida was added. The murals, especially ones such as this, are meant to promote peace and love towards all people and to remember those who are gone. </div>

After we finished our tour, we journeyed next to the Titanic museum. As you may or may not know, the Titanic was actually build in Belfast. So next to the slip where the Titanic was built a museum was erected in hopes of keeping the memory alive and teaching people about what really happened on the ship. The museum is huge and each side is as tall as the Titanic actually was. The museum focused on what Belfast was like for the working man back in the early 1900's and how they built the Titanic. It's crazy exactly how much went into just building one part of the gigantic ship! The museum also touched on the search for the Titanic and the various myths surrounding the ship and it's sinking.<br />

First we stopped at the Shropshire Canal which is an aqueduct across a river valley that was originally used to transport coal and is now used for pleasure cruises and nature walks. The aqueduct was built by Thomas Telford.<br />

After stopping at the Shropshire Canal we journeyed onto Valle Crucis Abbey which was originally a Catholic Abbey where monks of the Cistercian Order lived in the early 1200's C.E. But the abbey was closed down in the 1500's C.E. when King Henry VIII dissolved monasteries across the UK. The abbey was then turned into a house and now lays in ruins surrounded by sheep. The grounds were absolutely stunning!<br />

Our next detour on the way to Caernarfon was through Snowdonia National Park. We were blessed that a snow storm had just passed through so we got to see the beautiful scenery covered in snow! Something that stood out to me was the fact that villages and dwellings were spread throughout the park, unlike parks in the United States. The mountain in Snowdonia is the fourth largest mountain in the United Kingdom. I personally would have loved to stay in the park and explore rather than drive through, but there's always next time!<br />

Once we arrived in Caernarfon, we toured Caernarfon Castle which was ordered to be built by Edward the first and never fully finished. The fact that the castle was never completed was something that our tour guide stressed throughout our tour of the grounds. Edward the first had Caernarfon and other castles in Wales built to secure his hold over the conquered land of Wales.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Something that struck me about the castle was how unique it was. According to our tour guide, Caernarfon had a very good military defensive system for it's time. Almost every arrow slit in the walls of the castle had more than one angle the archer could shoot from, creating crossfire, and people on the outside of the castle could only see one arrow slit. <br />

As our last full day in Wales came to a close, we discussed as a group what we've learned from this leg of the trip, and an overarching theme was pride. We all admired just how much pride the Welsh feel for their culture and history and how they want to protect it and keep the memories alive, especially when it comes to language! With that I say nos da, which is Welsh for good night.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426070418814113976.post-14287399349573558742017-01-12T00:52:00.003-08:002017-01-12T06:14:24.580-08:00A Snippet on Welsh Culture<div class="MsoNormal">

The longer we stay in Wales the more I understand the pride
felt by the Welsh people in their culture. Throughout history the Welsh have
had to continually fight to preserve their individuality. Poetry, dance, and
the Welsh language are all facets of the traditional Welsh culture and are
still practiced with pride here in Wales. Over the course of history many countries
have had to fight, just like the Welsh, to maintain their own cultural
significance. The Welsh should be regarded as a beacon of hope for any country
in risk of a forgotten culture. It may not be too apparent from afar but here
in Wales it is very apparent; the Welsh are strong, and will not be wholly
assimilated, ever. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yesterday, we went to the Dolwyddelan Castle, the Llechwedd slate mines and attended a Welsh dance class. The Dolwyddelan Castle sits upon a mighty hill with plenty of sheep on the premises. We walked up the combination of hill and castle for around fifteen minutes. The view from the top was breathtaking. We were able to see why the Welsh felt so at home in Appalachia as the terrain of the land was very similar to that of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. </span></span></div>

In the nineteenth century, many men and boys earned their wages through slate mining. The boys could be as young as eight years old. The mine we visited had sixteen layers. We saw some of the tools that were used by the miners and the different roles each played. The things that I learned from this visit are very similar to that of the coal miner’s life in the United States. The death tolls on both ends were substantial. The risks of working in the mines were tremendous. Many died from the development of illness due to the inhaling of certain fumes and dust. A large amount also died from explosions. This was particularly more common in coal mines, because of the lack of suitable foundation to hold up the ground above them: many men died.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">After dinner, we all met at the Saith Seren pub. There we met with a colleague of Dr. Ellis’ who taught us a simple Welsh dance. I say simple, but most of us had a hard time mastering the steps. This ties into our class curriculum quite well. Appalachian culture is known for keeping </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">artistic</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> traditions alive. This includes dance, music, and so forth. I feel as though what we learned yesterday has been the closest connection to Appalachian Culture that has been made so far.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 21.600000381469727px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;">At the beginning of our day we traveled to the </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">city and spent a few hours in Chester</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> befor</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">e we were taken on a guided tour of the </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">city</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">. Many people went shopping and ate lunch at local restaurants.</span> I personally loved that we got to explore the new and considerably more modern city of Chester before contrasting it with what the city used to be on the tour: a primarily military city.<span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> Our group met up with some Lecturers </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">from </span><a href="https://www.glyndwr.ac.uk/"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;">Glyndŵr</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">Univer</span></a></span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"><a href="https://www.glyndwr.ac.uk/">sity</a> who gave us a walking tour around Chester about the history of the city. We walked along the outer border from when the city was walled and learned about the different people that held control over the city from history. The city has passed through the hands of the Romans, French, and English and continues to transform as a vibrant place today. We learned about how the Welsh who lived just across the border attacked Chester countless times and how the English Civil War effected the city. We even got the see the remains of a Roman amphitheater!</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 21.6px;"><br />Today, Chester is as a great place to live, full of history, and a great place to spend money</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">. The city is rich w</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">ith Roman-era relics</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> as well as each</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> consecutive</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">century’s </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">own unique </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">mark upon the city. Walking down the street the average passerby can see the </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">culmination</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> of multiple centuries of architecture.</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> One can easily spend countless pounds visiting a ton of shops ranging from jewelry to candy shops. Being a historically oriented person</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">,</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> the tour was my favorite part of the</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> whole day-trip</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 21.6px;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">I </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">must</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> say that I was blown away by yesterday's</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> visit and guided tour of</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> the great walled city of</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> Chester. I had sort of an </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">idea of what to expect because of our</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> our pre-departure class, but was shocked by how amazing the city is in person. </span></span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">Not only did we, as a group, share in </span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">the cities rich history</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> but we, luckily, took</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> a guided tour throughout the city which enabled us to appreciate the structures</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">;</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> but</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;">,</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> also</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> to appreciate the innate struggle that the city undertook by being on the border of England and Wales.</span><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> From shops to history this is truly a city fit for anyone to visit among their travels.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This morning we pressed onward out
of London, and into the next leg of our adventure. London is an amazing town
and I think it’s safe to say that everyone from our group enjoyed our visit in their
own capacities. We had great food, great shopping, and great fun in London
town. “We came, we saw, we conquered.”<br />

After somewhat of a long bus ride
through the beautiful English countryside we crossed the border into Wales late
this afternoon. We have arrived in Wrexham and will be staying here for most of
the week. (Look out Wrexham! MC students have arrived!) Shortly after we checked
into our hotel we met with Dr. Kathryn Ellis and Dr. Joss Bartlett from the
University of Glyndwr and the learning began immediately. We had a classroom
style learning session that included a brief history of Wales as discussed in a
poem written by Grahame Davies. We also learned a few simple phrases in the
Welsh language. The pronunciation wasn’t easy but it was fun to learn and try
it as a group! From Wrexham we will be venturing out daily to visit historical
sites like the walled city of Chester, Dolyddelan and Caernarfon Castles, the Llechwedd
Slate Caverns, and more. <o:p></o:p></div>

After checking into the hotel, we took a walk around Trafalgar Square and the surrounding areas checking out famous London sites such as: Big Ben, The London Eye, The Calvary Guard, Westminster Abbey and where the Prime Minister lives.<br />
We finished off the day with a group dinner at Gig's and headed off to bed in preparation for our first full day in London!<br />

Our first full day in the UK began with a short tube ride over to the Tower of London where we learned about the history of Great Britain and the Monarchy.<br />

We saw the rooms where many of history's famous men/women awaited their death or were imprisoned like: Sir Walter Raleigh, Ann Boleyn, Guy Fawkes, William Wallace, Richard the III, Lady Jane Grey, Rudolf Hess and Josef Jakobs. The Tower of London showed us the struggle many British people faced throughout history with freedom of religion which ties into what we are learning about: the connection between Celtic and Appalachian cultures. Both Celtic and Appalachian cultures feel strongly about the practice of religion, and believe that freedom of religion is important. The importance of religious freedom played a small part in the immigration of the Celts to America which lead to the formation of Appalachia. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>History fact:</u> apparently, during the 1940's the Tower of London was restored as a prison and held the two semi-high profile Nazi's, Rudolf Hess, the Deputy of the Third Reich, and Josef Jakobs, a German Spy, and one of them was even executed there.</div>

After the group split up, students went off and did activities of their own choosing. Students visited various museums like the Sherlock Holmes' museum and toured famous sites.</div>
