We'll soon be bigger than you any way, you lot are falling into the sea and we're actually rising. (It's all to do with the retreat of the last ice age, billions of tons of ice pressure on Scotland sank us into the earth's crust and now the ice has left we're "re-bounding" back up again.)

Just been looking at the etymology of Galway (as you do) and found this...
Interesting thing is in Scotland, Alloway, Alloa and Alva (all Scottish towns) all mean the same thing i.e. "stoney". You can see where we share language.

"Dun Bhun na Gaillimhe" means the "low" or "bottom" fort of Galway

Yeah, that's what I thought, nothing to do with "mouth" Mouth is Beul. Primary school is "bun sgoil" or low school. (Don't believe everything that Wiki tells you).
