EDITORS COMMENTS
Kistvaen, Ossians Grave, Glenaan, Cushendall: A Timeless Connection to the Past Nestled in the picturesque Glenaan valley of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, lies the enigmatic Kistvaen, also known as Ossian's Grave. This ancient site, steeped in myth and history, has captivated visitors for generations. In this evocative photograph, taken circa early 1900s, the Kistvaen stones stand proud against the backdrop of the rugged, rolling hills of Glenaan. The image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and legends that have been passed down through the ages. The boy in the foreground, with his small frame and curious expression, serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of human existence. His presence adds a sense of scale to the immense, timeless stones, emphasizing the enduring connection between the past and the present. The Kistvaen, believed to date back to the Bronze Age, is a Neolithic tomb, consisting of a cairn and a chamber built from large, flat stones. It is said to be the burial place of the legendary hero, Ossian, as well as his warrior band, the Fianna. The site has long been a source of inspiration for poets, artists, and scholars, who have been drawn to its mystical allure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of this remarkable place. The Kistvaen, Ossian's Grave, continues to captivate and inspire, serving as a testament to the enduring power of the past and the human spirit.
