INTRODUCTORY OBSERVATIONS. THI, art of angling is one of tte most ancient amusements and practices of which we have any record ia the history of the human lamiLy. We read of it in the Old Testament; and in the records of ancient Egypt, Assyria, and the whole of the eastern section of the globe, once the seat of powerful empires, and of a civilized people, we have innumerablp testimonies in their several sepulchral and architectural remains, that angling—as we angle at this day— was an art well known, and generally practised, both as an amuse­ ment, and as a means of support. In the polished aud literary states of Greece and Rome we have stUl more pointed and irre­ fragable testimony of the high antiquity of the art. The bucolic writers of Greek poetry descant upon the subject in a variety of forms ; while graver tiistorians among that singular and enlightened people dwell upon the art as one firrmy embedded in the permanent customs and habits of the nation. The literature of Rome like­ wise porti'ays the existence of the gentle art among the warlike conquerors of the world. Not only formal works were composed on the subject, but we find that the classic poets, both serious and comic, mate many direct allusions to the amusement of the rod fisher, and to the fish he was in the habit of catching. Erom the Christian era, and during the first centuries of the decline of Roman power and conquest, we find that angling con­ tinued to be one of the common pursuits of many nations, then in a state of transition from barbarism to refinement and knowledge. Phny wrote on fish; and Ausonius, between the third and fourth century, expatiates ^vith rapture on the abundance of fine sahnon that were caught in the " blue MoseUe;" a river in France, that AitGLDJG. flows into the Rhine on the northern frontier of the country. The old chroniclers and scholastic writers often mention the piscatory art; and the Church, then in fuU power, took the subject of fish generaUv under its own guidance, and regulated both the sport in taking them, and the using of them for food. In every country in Europe^ where any degree of progress had been made in learning and civilization during the middle ages, we find numerous traces of fishermen and their labours, even long before the art of piinting became known and practised. It is now an established fact, admitted Ly aU writers, that the English nation has been, from the earliest days of its history, the most distinguished and zealous propagators of the art of rod- fishing. And it is interesting to remark, in passing, that the historical memorials we possess, of the state oi the angling art among the Anglo-Saxon tribes who first settled in this country, throw a great hght on the origin of this striking predilection for the sport. The Anglo-Saxons, we are told, ate various kinds of fish, but the eel was a decided favourite. Ihey used these fish as abundantly as swine. Grants and charters are sometimes regulated by payments made in these fish. Eour thousand eels were a yearly present from the monks of Ramsay to those of Peterborough. We read of two places purchased for twenty-one pounds, wherein sixteen thousand of these fish were caught every jear; and, in one charter, twenty fishermen are stated, who furmshed, during the same period, sixty thousand eels to the monastery. Eel dykes are often mentioned m the boundaries of their lands.* In the dialogues of Elfric, composed for the use of the Anglo- Saxon youth in the learning of the Latin tongue, we find frequent mention made of fishermen, and matters relating to their craft. In one dialogue the fisherman is asked, "What gettest thou by thine art ? " " Big loaves, clothing, and money." " How do you take them ?" "I ascend a ship, and cast my net into the river; I also throw in a hook, a bait, and a rod." " Suppose the fishes are unclean?" "I throw the unclean out, and take the clean for food." " Where do you sell your fish ? " "In the city." " "VVho buys them?" "The citizens; I cannot take so many as I can sell." " "What fishes do you take ? " " Eels, haddocks, minnows, and eel-pouts, skate, and lampreys, and whatever swims in the rivers." " "VVhy do you not fish in the sea ?" " Sometimes I do; but rarely, because a great ship is necessary here."t The historian Bede teUs us^ that Wilfrid rescued the people o£ Sussex from famine in the eighth century, by teaching them to «!atch fish: " for though the sea and their rivers abounded with fish, they had no more skill in the art than to take eels.

There was no bridge and throughout the seventeenth century the river crossing was negotiated by ferry. The town is also located in an area of particularly good agricultural land and was described as early as 1623 as "seated in the richest soil of all the north, the country about it champaign" (Butlin 1976, 149). Its strategic significance was evident before the plantation period, however, and it was here that the O'Donnells built a castle in the fifteenth century (this castle is located in Co. Tyrone). The earl of Essex arrived here in 1574 as part of his ill-fated Ulster expedition and formally restored it to Hugh O'Donnell (Hayes McCoy 1976, 97). Ten years later, in 1584, Perrott proposed it for the site of an English garrison if Ulster was to be subdued. Perrott's proposals went unheeded, however, and it was not until 1600 when it was captured by Dowcra's forces, under the command of Niall garbh O'Donnell that it fell into English hands.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Date: 26/02/2018 EU FUNDED CROSS-BORDER NORTH WEST GREENWAY NETWORK OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED TODAY The historic An Grianán Fort overlooking Lough Swilly provided the stunning backdrop for the official launch of the North West Greenway Network today. Upon completion the project will deliver 46.5 km of new cross-border greenway that will help reduce carbon emissions by encouraging commuters to leave their cars at home. The €14.85m project is the largest of three separate greenways to be funded under the EU’s INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). Project partner Sustrans has appointed an ‘Active Travel Officer’ who will undertake a widespread engagement programme with local schools, workplaces and community groups to raise awareness of the greenway, during its construction, and encourage more sustainable methods of travel. A catchment area has been identified within which route corridor options are being appraised and a final road map for the project will be agreed upon over the coming months. Throughout the spring and summer, route options will be presented to the public, for comprehensive feedback, at a series of widely publicised public engagement events to be held in venues across both council areas. Match-funding for the project has been provided by the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport in Ireland. While welcoming the launch of the cross-border North West Greenway Network, Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport Mr. Shane Ross T.D. said : “We have an opportunity, through our commitment in the Programme for Partnership government, and in our new National Planning Framework and National Development Plan to build more greenways throughout Ireland and to provide more localities with the opportunity to benefit from such investment in the same way as communities in Mayo, Waterford, Monaghan and Armagh.
