East Inishowen Sea Kayak Trail
• Kinnagoe Bay East Inishowen Sea Kayak Trail ... paddle by sandy beaches and cliffs, push around headlands, kayak in the shadow of rocky stacks and through caves! LINKS WITH OTHER TRAILS The Foyle Canoe Trail runs from Lifford to Moville with the section from Culmore Point overlapping part of the Inishowen Trail. Stretching over 22 nautical miles from the start of the River Foyle, this unique trail runs along the tidal river, passing through historic Derry city before following Lough Foyle’s varied coastline to the seaside town of Moville. From the northern end of Lough Foyle, seasoned kayakers can link up with the North Coast Sea Kayak Trail, which begins at Magilligan Point only 1.2 km across the Narrows at Greencastle - plan the crossing carefully, taking into account currents and wind, passage of commercial shipping and fi shing boat operations! WILDLIFE The screeches and calls of cliff nesting • Seal on Inishtrahull bird colonies dominate the soundtrack of this rugged coastline. Fulmar and manx shearwater elegantly skim the surface of the water, ‘shearing’ from side to side as they rhythmically alternate white under parts and dark upper body. Diving terns and soaring gannets (from Ailsa Craig in western Scotland) indicate shoals of fi sh near the surface. Keep a special eye out for the white rumped storm petrel, a dainty ocean wanderer, who patters along the wave tops in summer, fl ying ashore on dark nights to their island nest in some stony crevice. Peregrine and buzzard are cliff top predators with the added excitement of regular eagle sightings in recent years.

Representing the Child's Memory: an Ulster
Patrick Doherty PhD Creative Writing February 2020 REPRESENTING THE CHILD’S MEMORY: AN ULSTER CHILDHOOD RECONSTRUCTED by PATRICK DOHERTY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire FEBRUARY 2020 1 Patrick Doherty PhD Creative Writing February 2020 2 Patrick Doherty PhD Creative Writing February 2020 ABSTRACT In this thesis I examine the potential for the self-representation of an Ulster, rural, Catholic childhood in 1950s -70s through the creative practice of writing my own memoir in the first person, present tense and the aging child’s point of view, in a fractured, non- linear narrative. My memoir uses the child’s language appropriately in accordance with my understanding of child development gained from a lifetime of teaching. My memoir underscores, through personal experience, the revelations of child abuse over the past thirty years as exposed in the Ryan Report in 2009. My narrative strategy of using the first person and child’s point of view demonstrate the impact upon the individual child of a society’s suppression of the silence and violence within the home, school and church. My memoir is accompanied by an exegesis which critically examines my creative writing output and practice. My memoir contributes to the development of a young child’s cognition and its development through to adulthood. It is a contribution to an evolving body of memoir in response to social and familial conditions in mid-twentieth century Ireland. 3 Patrick Doherty PhD Creative Writing February 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract P.

Your Donegal Family
YOUR DONEGAL FAMILY A GUIDE TO GENEALOGY SOURCES CULTURE DIVISION, DONEGAL COUNTY COUNCIL Donegal County Museum Collection The information contained in this publication was correct at the time of going to print. May 2020 A GUIDE TO TRACING YOUR DONEGAL ANCESTORS | 3 Genealogy is the study of one’s ancestors or family history and is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Genealogy makes history come alive because when people learn about their ancestors, they are able to make connections to historical events. Family History is the biographical research into your ancestors. The aim is typically to produce a well-documented narrative history, of interest to family members and perhaps future generations. It involves putting flesh on the skeleton of what is produced by genealogy and involves the study of the historical circumstances and geographical situation in which ancestors lived. As custodians of the collective memory of County Donegal, genealogy/ family history resources are an important Culture Division service. This booklet was produced by the Library, Archives and Museum Services of the Culture Division, Donegal County Council to provide a brief introduction to resources available within these services and to other resources and agencies that can help to guide researchers in tracing their Donegal family tree. While Donegal County Library, Donegal County Archives and the Donegal County Museum are happy to provide guidance and assistance, they are not genealogical institutions and in general they cannot conduct detailed research for individuals. A GUIDE TO TRACING YOUR DONEGAL ANCESTORS | 3 Beginning your Research o begin, try to establish as accurately and completely as possible the basic Tgenealogical facts of as many of your near relatives as you can: .
