1:21 - Just to clarify - this is NOT Saint Columba's Cathedral, it is called Saint Columb's Cathedral, and it is a Church of Ireland (Anglican) Cathedral, and the stone of Saint Columba's is not located at the cathedral, but 5 minutes walk away at Saint Columba's Roman Catholic Church also known as the Long Tower Church.

Thanks for that Lee..great footage...Erin Go Bragh 😉

St Columba's stone at the Long Tower. My Granny told me in the late 1950s that if you were ill then the Stone would cure you.

Note the Walker Monument at 1:05, which was a major Derry landmark until it was blown up by republicans in the '70s.

And the London part is from James 1's plantation system (hmm Derry plants London takes) I like it short, simple and true: Derry

Nice video! Obviously dated as hell, but great to how it was perceived back then. The sectarian mudslinging in the comments below are absolutely pointless but unfortunately expected.
