  1. Sliabh na gCrotta Cliach - Mountain of the Harps of Cliach

    Share Share Post
    The legendary origin of this name occurs in the Dindshencus. According to this legend Cliach was a harper in love with the daughter of Bodh Derg who had his palace on Sliabh na mBan. Being unsuccessful in his wooing Cliach retired to the top of the Galtees where he continue to play and sing all to no effect. Some accounts say he was seized by a dragon and died of fright, another account that he plunged into the lake and was drowned.
