To give honour to the Blessed Virgin Mary is as natural to the people of the Gaeltachd as breathing the air. As well as being expressed in the personal and community prayer of the people, it is also expressed in their language and in their description of everyday things. The Gael sees no boundary between the world of faith and the secular world – every thing and every event may be pervaded by the grace of God which in practice is principally obtained through the intercession and protection of Mary, the Mother of God. Especially in times of trouble or threat the Gael places special reliance on her power of intercession and looks to her for safety and refuge.

  • All very true of many I'm sure. But there's also many a local wag who refers to this monument as "Our Lady of Missiles" (instead of the Isles) referring to the giant missile range control and tracking radar station a top this hill just to the east, and the range launch base to the north west.
