- The Donegal greatly venerated The Swan.
They consider it very unlucky to kill a swan. They consider it unlucky even to have anything to do with one of these birds.
Some years ago Professor Kingsley Porter (of Harvard University) bought Glenveigh Castle. Some local person gave him some young swans and swan's eggs as presents. The eggs were hatched out by a goose and mothered by this bird.
They were kept in a pond in the grounds. The Professor was afterwards drowned (or lost) in one of the Donegal islands.The local people are convinced that this happened because he kept the swans in his place.(Local comment at the time of his death.)
