This article has been modified to enable a technical description of the Birlinn with appropriate references. In both Scottish and Irish sources it is more commonly referred to as a "long" (meaning "ship"). In contrast to the situation with Viking vessels, no archeological finds of any consequence have been made, leaving reconstruction dependent on contemporary texts and images. The latter, however, can be very revealing. It would be interesting to know what differences may have existed between Scottish and Irish forms of this galley.

the use of a lymphad in Scottish Heraldry is a completely different topic. Other charges have their own article, and this one could use expanding. Tinynanorobots (talk) 18:23, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Why are we even discussing this? One is a heraldry symbol, and the terminology for it is correct. The other is an actual ship, from a culture that (it is my understanding) took part in a completely different heraldry tradition during the height of the Birlinn's use. Also, a Birlinn is a galley-type ship, not a long ship. They're completely different varieties of ship. Plant Badges, clan crests, etc. were used in the hebrides, with traditional heraldry being used mostly in the mainland south. These are completely different topics from completely different cultures. Was the person who suggested the merger drinking? Ollie Garkey (talk) 17:57, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
The birlinn (like the Irish "galley") was in fact a ship - a vessel propelled primarily by sail, with oars used when necessary. It belonged therefore to the long-ship tradition.

The article mentions that this ship was called a "long-fhada" and seems to add it means (long ship). However, to the best of my knowledge, "fhada" is a declensed form of Gaelic fada, which means long (as in the epithet of the god Lugh, lamhfhada, meaning "long arm" or "long hands")... which means the "name" just means long in two languages. Can somebody confirm this appellation is correct? --Svartalf (talk) 18:14, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

If you are a graphic designer also create a vectorized version of the main photo's birlinn. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:4106:5A00:9CB0:2330:A6F3:3E11 (talk) 08:02, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
