        Long long ago, pubs didn’t have names but they just had signs. People would call the pub whatever was on the sign. “The King’s Head” for pubs with a portrait of a king, “The Wheat Sheaf” for ones with a picture of some wheat or barley, etc.

        Lots of old pubs displayed the Stuart coat of arms as a show of loyalty to King James I/VI and his heirs, which is a heraldic red lion. Hence why so many pubs have the same name even though they’re all ancient and unrelated.

    Nope, incomplete. Here’s one at the tip of that peninsula-looking island that’s left bare (Skye).

    I’m curious now it there actually is a spot in the Hebrides or Highlands where you can be more than a day’s walk from a pub.

          An inn is basically a pub with rooms you can stay in. Not quite sure what makes a place a bar rather than a pub in the UK, but generally a pub was built as one and a bar is in a generic retail/restaurant space.

      The people who lived there were forcibly relocated to the colonies because the lairds worked out that it was more profitable to use the land for sheep than peasants.

            I’m really torn on the whole thing. I don’t want there to be a barrier between the British and Irish, but I also see the appeal of Ireland being whole. We’ve come so far in my lifetime and I like we’ve ended up in this situation where the two countries are just open to each other. It’s a really strong statement given where things were less than 50 years ago.

                  Not only arms, but also money was raised and sent back to fund IRA activities.

                  Sure… Not all Americans, but IRA funding and support was pretty widespread in places such as New York. (Not saying it’s not understandable why people with Irish heritage, or Americans in general would support the IRA, just that US support for them was a very helpful lifeline.)

                  Edit: also smuggling guns into a conflict zone to arm one side is quite substantial help.

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.
