Dún na nGall: Dark Lowlands [Doo-nu-ngal]

Lough Derg (Lake of the Red Eye): (pron. LAWHK DARG) County Dhún na nGall, Ireland This Donegal island contains a shrine to Saint Patrick. It was the last stronghold of the Druids in Ireland and St. Patrick ended the fight there. Legend says he killed the lake monster and its blood dyed the water red. A sacred cave was destroyed by the Dublin Commission in the 17th century and ceremonies made illegal. Now that cermonies are legal again, many people go there on three day pilgramages to pray from the first of June to the 15th of August. Lough Derg is said to be a cure for the seven deadly sins.
