Donegal Ireland

Donegal (Self Catering, Donegal, Ireland), a county of Ireland, in Ulster, 68 m. long and 44 broad; bounded W and N by the ocean, E by Londonderry and Tyrone, and S by Roscommon and the bay of Donegal (Holiday Apartments, Donegal, Ireland), containing 42 parishes, and sends 2 members to parliament; has extensive linen manufactures, and abounds with harbours. Donegal (Holiday Cottages, Donegal, Ireland) is something of a geographical and political anomaly. It is the northernmost county on the island, has its strongest cultural, commercial and ethnic ties with neighbouring areas of Northern Ireland, yet forms part of “the south”, the Republic of Ireland. The western and northern coasts have been worn into jagged bays and fjords by the full impact of the north Atlantic and the magnificent barren inland mountains - Errigal, Dooish, Blue Stack, Slieve League - form part of the same geological structure as the Scottish highlands.
