  1. A Local Legend

    Share Share Post
    My father - John Brien Ardfinnan - told me a story about Baylough - a lake on the mountain near Clogheen. Some men from Clogheen went to Baylough to draw water from it; on their way home, they saw, - as they thought; Clogheen on fire; they threw away the water and ran home; but they were more surprised when they got to Clogheen, to see there had been no fire. They went another day and the same thing happened. So they never went to draw water from the lough after that.
