Old travel Blog photograph of the River Ruel in Glendaruel, Cowal, Argyll, Scotland. Glendaruel is thought to be one of the glens praised in the Gaelic poem The Lament of Deirdre,in which reference is made to a Glenndaruadh. It is found in the 15th-century Glenmasan manuscript, which may go back to an original written down in 1238. Deirdre is a tragic heroine in Irish mythology, and in the poem she is lamenting the necessity of leaving Scotland to return to Ireland.
