Walking Sticks

[Dukeof Kircaldy]

Are you lusting for a shillelagh or a blackthorn walking stick?

The shillelagh is a cudgel or club which is made from blackthorn.

The blackthorn walking stick is just that, although they are sometimes called shillelaghs. Not that the walking stick itself couldn't cause some serious damage.

Both can be found at almost any Irish souvenir store throughout the world.

Personally, I've been lusting for a shillelagh for quite some time. I never have quite that much disposable income at any one time, though.

Oh well. Someday…
