My Dublin

Description

Welcome to Dublin, I was born and bred here so I should know what I am talking about, right? Possibly of Viking descent? My maiden name Doyle means Dubh Ghaill or dark stranger and we can trace our roots back to Font Hill, right next door to the Guinness brewery which kind of explains a lot. Never mind, Dublin is steeped in history from medieval times to the present day with an 800 year chunk of British rule which hugely influenced the built environment and of course our culture and attitude.

We Dubliners are fiercely proud of our city and its history, especially the rebel bit. And although it has seen enormous changes in the last few years with the rise of the Celtic tiger, who incidentally has just gone awol..... we all have our favourites, places we grew up with that are much the same as they always were, full of real history and character and well worth seeing if you want the real deal....
