| LEENANE, CO. GALWAY.- The hamlet of Leenane lies at the head of the Great Killery Harbor, in renowned Connemara, and, although so small a place, is surrounded by some of the most striking scenery on the planet. Dr. Joyce says that the present name of the bay (Killery) is a misnomer, both in English and Irish, and that, according to the Four Masters, its proper designation would be Caolshaile-ruadh, meaning "the Reddish Narrow Inlet of the Sea," which exactly describes the character of the place. |
