- According to tradition this lake was formed from a spring well. At(?) Erne Head at the southern extremity of the lake now. This well was always covered of a stone lid. A girl drew water from it one evening and forgot to replace the stone so the water burst out. With it came a calf. He ran on a road through the valley and the water followed him every where. At the northern extremity of the series of valleys a man was mowing and he cut the legs from under the calf. He slipped and the water stopped. When the people arose the next morning the lake was as it is now and they called it Lough Gowna or the Lake of the Calf.This lake has very many islands but the most important one is Inch Mór which lies at the Southern end. It contains the ruins of a Cistercian Monastery but in the early days this monastery was built by disciples of Colmcille and the parish on the Lake's western shore is the Parish of Colmcille.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
