As Rosie and I continue our adventures along the east coast of Ireland, we decided to do some bird photography at Annagassan and Salterstown Pier,
Annagassan is a small sleepy village situated on the banks of the River Glyde where it meets Dundalk Bay in the Irish sea, County Louth.
Annagassan began its life as a Viking settlement
The Vikings established Annagassan as a Longphort (an Irish name for a shore fortress) several kilometres up the river Glyde to harbour their longboats and they called the settlement Linn Duachaill.
