  1. The Fiddler's Seat

    Share Share Post
    There is also a seat know as "the Fiddlers seat" in the same spot as the location of the "Fairies Gate" at Clogher. Some say that it was made for the Druids or Pagan Priests. At any cost it is remembered by the old age pensioners around the place where the fiddle & concertina players made music for the crowd of dancers on the road below.
