- About seven miles from our school is the historic rock of Doon on which the O'Donnell's of Tir-Conail were always crowned. This rock is called the Rock of Doon. Story tellers say that it is the headquarters of the fairies in Donegal.
There is a sort of cave in the eastern side of the rock of Doon which forms a vestible to a great cavern. This cavern is the favourite abode of the fairies. From time to time some gifted people are supposed to have seen thousands of these tiny people entering the cave.
