Ireland's beauty / the beauty of Ireland

Hello.

I have read in a grammar book that Often we can use the possessive 's or of + noun with very little difference in meaning:

- Ireland's beauty / the beauty of Ireland

What is that liitle difference in meaning?

I would be grateful for your help.

Thanks.
