Donegal Islands : Islands of Donegal

The rugged coastline of County Donegal is dotted with off-shore islands, most of which are no longer inhabited on a year round basis, but all of which hold a certain fascination for both locals and tourists alike. Perhaps it is the strong connection with literature. We think of J.M. Synge writing “Riders To The Sea”on the Aran Islands; Tomas O’ Croithean with the classic “The Islander” and Peig Sayers with her account of life on the Blaskets ,and finally our own local literary giant, Peadar O’Donnell, who immortalised island life in the Rosses |

area of West Donegal. On this site we offer a brief description of the principal islands off the coast of Donegal. If you wish to take a day trip to any of these islands you will have to make your own local arrangements apart from a small number of islands which operate a regular ferry service. Happy island hopping! |
