    Folklore.
    In this district there are a number of days to which special customs are attached.
    These days are News year's day,St Bridget's Day; St.Johns Night and May Day.
    New year day is a holiday of obligation ,it is said that everything you do on that day you will be doing it for the year, and people do not like to lay out any money on that day.
    On St Johns Night large bonfires are made at the cross roads and dances are held near the fires at midnight.
