Enjoy a wander through the history of The Glens of Antrim from it's earliest times with the Historical Society's own Dominic, Paul, Felix & Frank and trace the evolution of human habitation in The Glens from the Mesolithic era to present day. This little film features key landmarks in each of the nine glens and captures the charm of the area with some stunning music and photography.

I've just discovered this video now and it is wonderful - thank you to all involved for making it a decade ago. I was fortunate enough to take my Dad around the Glens 20 years ago and it still remains one of my most favourite memories (my family emigrated from Cushendall to Canada almost 200 years ago). I can't wait to go back.

I'm a long distance runner and I've run the glens several times and it's the deep history and visual remains from our ancestors that make these runs so special. Thanks for the video.

I recently discovered through the ancestry website that I had ancestors from there, So I hopped on YouTube to see what I could find. This was a really wonderful video – Dominic is such an interesting speaker!

Excellent documentary. The Glens of Antrim, like the Ring of Kerry and Connemara in Galway is among the most special parts of old Ireland.

My family, McBride hails from here, landed in South Carolina, 1768. My ancestor was Hugh McBride...Id give anything to come to Antrim. We as Irish Americans are so very neglected of our heritage, it's overwhelming to finally learn and see our ancestral home. Thank you for this video.

Nice! I was up and down that coast last year. We had a family reunion in Ballycastle and visited some friends in Cushendun. Her house is on the video at 23.36. Sláinte

Lovely video, thank you. I can trace my ancestry way back, to quite ancient Antrim. So, I very much enjoyed finding this documentary and footage of this beautiful land and its rich history.

My Blair kin left the Kilwaughter village area and left for America on ship, The Earl of Donegal and arrived in Charleston, South Carolina in 1769. They had land grants from the King to land in Chester County near Fishing Creek.
