Ireland is a country that just oozes its cultural background and history in every corner of the island. Given that the island has long been isolated from almost everyone other than its island neighbor in Britain, and some Viking raids in early history, the cultural identity of the country is fairly untouched by external influences. From early druidic culture, to the fringe influence of Roman civilization, the people of Ireland today are very much the descendants of a purely Celtic culture. Trinity College in Dublin still holds the Book Of Kells, an incredible piece of Irish heritage that was written by Celtic monks in the 9th century. Non-written nodes of Celtic history can also be found all across the island from burial mounds to ancient monasteries. As for modern day culture, the great part is most of the traditions involve celebrations, and the music and dance is downright infectious!
