Dublin conjures up delightful thoughts.

The City of Dublin lies on the Liffey River and it is said Guinness from the Liffey is different and nicer there than from anywhere else. (Is this true?).

There are several versions of where the name Dublin came from:-

Princess Dublina was drwoned in the Liffey and was restored to life through the prayers of a saint.

     E’m - sounds like a good old bit of Irish folk law!

Or try this one! Scandinavian rovers who at the Ath Cliath (the ford of the hurdles) in 836 A.D. bestowed on it the new name of Dubh-linn (Duv Linn, Danish Diflyn) or Blackpool, from the inlet of the Liffey at its confluence with the small stream of the Poodle, where their ships moored.

     We’re lost on that one!
