In an attempt to further my research, I have started this blog to organize my information on Irish history and Ireland into a more comprehensive way. Hopefully I'll maintain this information and it will prompt me to keep it going. My main goal is to develop a better understanding of Medieval Ireland so as to provide myself with a better persona. If you'd like to keep track of this blog, the link to my RSS file is http://scaireland.blogspot.com/atom.xml Happy feeding!

First things first
My main resource for Irish dress is Old Irish and Highland Dress by McClintock, but it appears to be a widely quoted book on the subject. Since there seems to be little known about Irish dress in the medieval period, then we have to go with what we find. Unfortunately, his book was only published in 1943. The only other sources that I'm aware of off the top of my head would be the Book of Kells. I know there are others, but not many. Hopefully I can find more to add to this. I know I have website information printed out at home, so hopefully I can either make a link list for all of these sites, or simply start by copying their information here, so I don't have to worry about the sites going down.
