  1. How the Doolougs came to Lough Guitane

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people used to cut turf on the mountain of Shronaboy every year. At last a spring rose and the holes filled with water. After a while the people began to believe that the water came from Loughquittane lake. Then it flowed back into the fayheen and back into Finn-abha river.
