Killybegs Donegal

Killybegs, Donegal
"We set off from Donegal town and headed west along the shore of Donegal Bay in the direction of Glencolmcille. The bustling fishing port of Killybegs (Na Cealla Beaga) was our first stop, but our lasting memory. So taken were we with the sights and sounds and comings and goings on the quayside, that we decided to remain in Killybegs for the night. And, all the while, in my mind I could hear the voice of the late Tommy Makem singing 'The Boys of Killybegs'."
