Having lived in Rostrevor, Newry, Warrenpoint, Belfast, and Banbridge, I enjoyed this video a lot. Up Down as my granny would say every summer, especially in 91 and 94.
My home county!
After you've done the counties I'd love to see videos on the country towns and major cities and an overview of their main historical events and legends associated with the areas nearby. Great video and I love discovering more about places I thought I knew but after watching your videos realise that there so much more to learn!!!

Gotta love it when there's a new Geography World video on a certain county
Dundee isnt the only Dun in Scotland, theres also the city of Dunfermline and the towns of Dunkeld, Dunbar, and Dunblane, Dum and Dun are used interchangeably e.g. Dumbarton and Dumfries

Finally get to see my Home City mentioned on KZread, DUNDEE, just out of curiosity, have you been to Dundee?
To make this way easier to follow, you should've explained just counties then cities after in order of the county's you just explained.

Idk why i would watch this living in down my whole life
County Tyrone is missing. I've been going through them all in preparation for a grand tour. If any other is also missing, I'll let you know.

Also dn.would be dan.what happened over time this was forgotten.so became dun.din.den
The Russell's and Rowleys of County Down five miles south of Belfast. My grandmother had her 22 acres of farmland was taken by the British when she was 10 years old. She told me to get it back from them when I grew up. Maybe I can. I want to try. I definitely will try harder if Trump becomes President again. Right now I'm at a research stage to pinpoint where they actually were. My dad tried in 1955. My older brother tried in the 1980s. My turn.😊
I have no idea which part of Ireland you're from, from your 'accent', I'm guessing, somewhere in Sasna? 🤨

My last name is Dunn. Do you think my ancestors came from County Down?
