Bob of The Reek is a little known story from an area steeped in history which acts as a magnet not alone for Christian pilgrims but for archaeologists, photographers and historians. From a spot looking up at Bob’s cave , by a stream just yards from his home, Brendan relates the story he first published as an archaeological paper in 2005.

Great story, thanks much. Sad part of the tale, having to sell the bell to emigrate.
