Near the end of the East Side road where it turns to become the back road to L'Archeveque this well maintained country house has a lovely open view toward the mouth of the river and Red Head. I stopped one day and asked about the sign because the word 'Mointeach' (pronounced as mon-yuck) had caught my eye. But now, for the life-of-me I can't remember what they told me about the meaning of the sign, other than confirming that indeed the word Mointeach was Gaelic for peat - sorry.
This summer perhaps I will find out for sure and update this posting to explain the words Thig a Ris. (if you happen to know the meaning please comment so I can update)Well decided to google Thig a Ris this a.m.and found it to mean "Come Again" - and a lovely Gaelic invitational good-bye it is now you see.
Upon leaving Five Islands Provincial Park, you see a lovely carved signs that says "Thig a ris - Come again"

ReplyDeleteSybil, thanks again - this time for sharing back with me on that Gaelic phrase. Next I will have to get my friend to say it aloud for me - but for now in regard to my blog, "Thig a ris"
DeleteI have noticed in the last few years that where appropriate some road signs are giving the road names in Gaelic as well as English
