There was once a man named Walsh who came to live at Glenbower. The glen was silent except for its waterfall and the inhabitans heard nothing else. Because of that Walsh called it the "deaf glen or Glenbower" which it still bears.How "Culnamuc" got its name.
There are two stories told of how "Culnamuc" got its name. Some people say that if you look at the hills around it, they seem like a pig lying down" An other story says that there used to be a pig market held at a square near the Parish Church at certain times.Ta Carraig Aoinne suidhte ar (bocar) bothair Calnamuc in aice Carraig-na-SUir Fuair si a h--ainm mat ta amhain(continues on next page)
