Ireland is interesting in its own right. Certainly not Anglo-Saxon, but significant Scottish, Norman, and Scandanavian influences. The cross/pollination between Scotland and Ireland is especially interesting - given that the "Scots" were originally from the North of Ireland themselves... and some theories state that they moved from Scotland to Ireland as part of migration pressures - part in due to the Romans...
