    1. Shame there wasn’t room for Shetland on there, one of our most interesting communities on a linguistic and cultural level.

      You drew a picture of the “British Isles”.

      No, you drew a picture of Britain & Ireland. “British Isles” is a politically charged term thats been deliberately dropped from diplomatic use & geography textbooks. Its a relic of 1800s British propaganda.

      The British Isles is the Island of GB & its jear shore Islands.
      Ireland is the Island & its near shore islands

    3. That’s an awesome map that is giving off LOTR vibes!

      (Btw, please ignore the negative comments; this is Reddit, you can’t post anything without some deeply sad, lonely people trying to turn it into a political debate.)

    4. There are three Celtic nations here. They’re definitely the Celtic isles not the latter.

      Edit : technically four including Cornwall

      Still a great drawing

    5. Britain and Ireland* or literally just the title of the picture, the United Kingdom and Ireland*

    6. If Tolkien had written History of the English Speaking Peoples instead of Churchill

      You’ve drawn Kilkenny and Waterford on the same river. Kilkenny is on the Nore while Waterford is on the Suir. They merge and empty into the Irish Sea at Waterford Harbour but Waterford isn’t on the Nore.

      You’ve also placed Galway about 25km away from its location which is at the mouth of the River Corrib.

      Since you included part of France, The channel islands would’ve been a cool inclusion but even without it’s still an amazing map 🙂

      Each time I see these types of maps, the first thing that comes to mind “In the land of Mordor, in the fires of mount doom…”

      Please don’t use the expression British Isles much better to use something neutral like I.O.N.A. = Islands Of the North Atlantic (not withstanding Iceland is not part of the area, I know)

    11. Fake and gay you didn’t add the glorious shire or Wiltshire or it’s shining capital among the green plains Trowbridge within it. 0/10

    12. What were the criteria for including/ excluding towns and cities? Exeter & Truro seem strange omissions for example
