I served over there during the troubles.  Because of the symbology, some are (or were) actually quite scary.

I hear they are even doing tours around to see them now?

Aye. And they do a roaring trade. You can go round them by bus or black taxi.

Check out the art of war on netfix, its a documentry about the guys who paint the murals and how a lot of them are being painted over.

If you served in Londonderry the murals of the guys wearing gas masks were pretty intimidating!

Black taxi eh?

We were advised never ever get into a black taxi In NI.  Especially the ones around the city airport on a Monday morning when returning from leave.

I wouldn't get into one either. Unless I was certain that it was a Shankill or Sandy Row one. But if you're a tourist you'd be alright. You'd have to listen to a lot of auld shite about the poor oppressed gaels and pay handsomely for it though.
