The Quiet Land

on BBC One London

The Glens of Antrim come down from the quiet of the hills to the narrow water which links them with Scotland. Every Irish exile knows of the peace of these nine green glens. Visitors from many nations have been drawn there by stories of their beauty and the hospitality of the Glensfolk. In Glenaan is the reputed grave of Ossian, the greatest Celtic poet; Cushendun was the home of Moira O'Neill , poetess of the Glens; and in the same village the English Poet Laureate John Masefield found a wife.
In this, the most Irish part of the north of Ireland, Jack McCann , founder of the Glens of Antrim Historical Society, gives his impressions of this quiet land.
