Driving through an area in Dublin (Ohio) with streets named after Irish places the other day, I passed a street called ‘Gullway Bay’. There are no gulls in Dublin, Ohio, although there are many in Galway, Ireland.

‘Gullway’ had the sound of an Old English [kenning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenning?ref=lorcandempsey.net) about it. 

It prompted me to look up Dolores Keane’s [rendition](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD73lxnaPCE&ref=lorcandempsey.net) of *Galway Bay*. 

**Note:** A brief flirtation with Google tells me that there are other Gullway Bays out there.

**p.s.** OK, OK .. I was thinking that there were no seagulls in Dublin, Ohio, but it has been pointed out to me that: 

1. you do occasionally see gulls here, and that
2. apparently to the birder there is no such thing as a *seagull* as such.
