RISING regally over the Kilmacrenan countryside the slopes of Lough Salt Mountain are renowned for their breathtaking beauty, rich vein of heritage and wonderful wealth of tales.
The casual traveller to Donegal would scarcely give this sparsely populated spot a second thought, paying scant regard to the abandoned broken farmsteads, tousled gorse hedges and sleepy fields lying fallow. Surprisingly, few other settings have such a captivating and colourful past; a microcosm of Ireland’s story from pre-history to present.
