I often get asked on the guide training and leadership training courses I run; courses like lowland leader.

Where can you develop your knowledge of Irish plants, trees, folklore, legend and history?
Especially the mix of folklore and legend, combined with flora and fauna?

Here are the bibles I use; and recommend to people:
