- A Story of St Patrick.
Bredagh glen is a glen a few miles outside the town of Moville in Co. Donegal. From this glen there runs a small river called the Bredagh River. Long ago, when St Patrick was crossing this river, he slipped on a salmon, and then he cursed the river. From that day to this a salmon was never seen in this river.
