Donegal Annual Published

The Donegal Annual, edited by Sean Beattie, has been published with 260 pages. It is packed with a variety of articles on Donegal History and folklore ranging from Letterkenny's links to the Beatles to the Civil War in the county.

A number of articles take a look at the ill-fated rebellion of Sir Cahir O'Doherty, who paid with his life, after taking up arms following the Flight of the Earls. Áine Ní Dhuibhne surveys the events that took place in Rathmullan in commemoration of the historic occasion, with a superb collection of photos. Photos from the O'Neill family collection in Shane's Castle that have never been published before, are among a wide range of articles.

Available in bookshops or from Una McGarrigle, Park Hill, Ballyshannon, the Donegal Annual costs €20 plus €3 postage. Contact Una at unamcgarrigle@hotmail.com or visit the website www.donegalhistory.com
