Joe Mahon visits south-west Donegal, where he manages to get above and below the towering Slieve League cliffs, visits Muckross and helps make tapestries in Glencolmcille, filmed in 2007.
My Grandfather Patrick, son of James McFadden, came from Tawny ( Towney) and was a fisherman,. He left the Kilcar area in 1849. His skills on the water served him well, as he enlisted in the US Navy in Philadelphia in 1852, serving four full years with the Perry Expedition to Japan, with an 11 month stopover st Shanghai at the American Consulate. He never returned to Donegal, but married a Margaret, also a McFadden, from Killybegs whom he met in New York City upon his return. The "Wild Geese" of southwest Donegal have left their mark upon the world.

There’s nothing secret about Glenn Cholm Cille.
For these Ulster-Scot Presbyterians in the Republic, it must be a mysterious and terrifying nest of papistry and popery.
