    Near my home there is a townsland called Knock Breac.
    The land around there is very mountainous. The hill is a speckled one.
    Glen Breeda means Saint Brigids Glen. There is a well in it and it is believed it belonged to Saint Brigid. Glen Breeda, Saint Brigid's Glen. Where there never was a rogue nor a robber's den.
    Where peace and plenty always smile. Beneath the hills of Glenaguile.
