	Aran Islands - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The port Kilronan (Cill Rónáin) is the main village of the island, with a population of 270.
		Inis Oírr is the smallest island, with a population of 262.
		The islands' geology is mainly karst limestone and is thus more closely related to The Burren in Co. Clare (to the south) than to the granites of Connemara to the north.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Monastic School of Aran
		Before the arrival of St. Enda, Aran Mor and the neighbouring islands had long been occupied by a remnant of the ancient Firbolg race, who, driven from the mainland, built themselves rude fortresses in the strongest points of the islands, the barbaric ruins of which still excite wonder.
		He calls it "Aran, the Sun of all the West," another pilgrims' Rome, under whose pure earth he would as soon be buried as nigh to the graves of Saints Peter and Paul.
		Enda divided Aran Mor into two parts, one half to be assigned to his own monastery of Killeany; the other, or western half, to such of his disciples as chose "to erect permanent religious houses on the island." This, however, seems to have been a later arrangement.

	Synge
		He was fascinated by the primitiveness of the Aran society, by the lack of class distinction, and by the way in which the Aran people led their life according to the natural circumstances.
		Synge found on the islands for the first time in his life an outside world that was so similar to his own situation that he was able to use it as a means to express himself and the attitudes towards life that were already formed inside him.
		The Aran people are more obviously than most other human beings “engaged in the most elemental struggle – the struggle for survival in nature.”[Casey, Aran Requiem, p.93] Their response is acceptance of the inevitable; and it is this response that made Synge write Riders to the Sea.

		Though the word "gansey" may be related to the island of Guernsey etymologically, the usage of the term to describe the seaman's pullover jumper is used throughout the region.

		The Aran Islands in the latter half of the 19th century were the destination of many scholars (and pseudo scholars) and many other visitors interested in "primitive" Irish culture.

		By its generous professions of philosophic tolerance, and apparent acquiescence in what for the moment it was too weak to overpower, the philosophic school won a hearing for doctrines which were essentially subversive of the established order of things in both Church and State, and prepared the way for overt revolution.
		According to his fourteenth-century life he was of royal descent and a mighty warrior in his youth; converted by a pious sister, he be came a monk.
		So many resorted to the island that it received the name of Aran of the Saints.

		As the Cromwellians forced the dwindling forces of the loyalists toward the West, the Marquis of Clanrickard took possession of the Aran Islands as a last bastion of defense.
		Inis Bofin to the north of the Aran Islands, off the West Coast near Clifden, County Galway, was occupied by fleeing loyalists, but the attempt to fortify and hold it was abandoned in favor of Inis Mor on the Aran Islands.
		The Cromwellians could never have taken the Islands without bringing around the coast a invasive fleet and army had there been any possibility of ensuring additional and adequate supplies of arms, ammunition and possibly food.

		The motivations of these visitors are best exemplified by W. Yeats advice to Synge: "Go to the Aran Islands, and find a life that has never been expressed in literature." In the second half of the twentieth century, up until perhaps the early 1970s, one sees a third kind of visitor to the islands.
		However, those visitors of this third kind that came and stayed were attracted to the aspects of Aran culture that were: Isolated from mainstream print and electronic media, and thus reliant primarily on local oral tradition for both entertainment and news.

		It is also about how these workers are a part of a human army of craftsmen who maintain their grace and humanity in the face of the mechanisation of industry, whilst themselves appearing somewhat machine-like.
		While Nanook of the North, Moana and Man of Aran reinvented past cultures to construct exotic documents of humanity, The Land was a representation of agricultural problems and their effect on people in contemporary 1940s America.
		While The Land marks a shift from the pre- modern nostalgia of the early film to an engagement with modernity, Louisiana Story directly addresses the issue of the environmental impact of mechanisation upon the pristine environment of the bayous of Louisiana in a film sponsored by Standard Oil albeit with the approval of the sponsor.

		Rife with fl humour, In the Shadow of the Glen, based on an Aran story and set in Co. Wicklow, was published in 1903 and would later be adapted for the stage though initially it outraged Irish Nationalists.
		Riders to the Sea, which some say is his most passionate work "on these islands the women live only for their children." would also be adapted for the stage.
