The name
Donegal comes from the Irish
‘Dun na nGall’ meaning
fort of the foreigner. Donegal is
well know for its hand woven
Donegal tweed, so visit the town
of Ardara, Co Donegal and why
not take home a souvenir of
these locally produced goods.

Culture
This site illustrates the
high level of arts activity in
the Rosses and Gaoth Dobhair
area of County Donegal in three
feature articles. Two recent
commemorative festivals, the
Peadar O¹Donnell Weekend and the
Frankie Kennedy Winter School
are reviewed. The need for
improved cultural infrastructure
in the area is reflected in a
series of proposals to develop
new venues which have arisen
from a number of sources. One of
these proposals, to develop the
former ESB power station at Mín
a Cuinge into a Centre for Arts,
Heritage and Culture, is
described.
