- The place where I live is called Coolboa. It is in the Barony of Decies within Drum. There are fourteen houses in Coolboa, twelve slate and two thatch. The schools and Church are also in Coolboa. There are no rivers or lakes in Coolboa, only a large pond which is called 'Poll an Tairbh', it is called this because it is said that two bulls had a fight near the edge of the pond and one of the bulls fell in and got drowned. There are no people in Coolboa over seventy years. There are no ruins of old houses there. The place is called 'Cúl Bugha' which means 'foxglove'. Because the foxglove plant is growing wild on every ditch and field. The flowers on the plant are like the fingers of a glove.
