Donegal Castle

Donegal Castle

Donegal Castle is a fascinating 15th-century castle with a later Jacobean wing. Built by the--almost legendary--historical figure Red Hugh O'Donnell in 1474, this castle was one of the strongest fortresses in Ireland. When the O'Donnell clan fled in 1607 (a period known as "The Flight of the Earls"), the castle came under British control and a Jacobean wing was added. Today, the castle has been almost fully restored and is the site of regular Gaelic culture events.

Lough Derg

Lough Derg

Not to be mistaken with the larger lake of the same name on the River Shannon, Lough Derg in Co. Donegal is a renowned place of pilgrimage. A traditional three-day pilgrimage takes place each August, but the Lough is open to visitors (including anglers!) year-round. The Lough is composed of over 30 islands and inlets, the most famous of which is Station Island - it is said that when St. Patrick traversed Ireland converting kings to Christianity, Jesus appeared to him here and revealed the entrance to Purgatory! The Lough's name comes from the Irish word "dearg" (red) as a local legend holds that a local mortal once called the magic powers of the lake to transform a worm into a vicious cow. Once defeated, the red blood of the cow changed the colour of the rocks (which are in fact sandstone) to red.
