FALCARRAGH
Is a neat little town in the County of Donegal, situate about thirty
miles from Letterkenny. It is surrounded on one side by the
mountains of Muckish, Aghla, and the lofty peaked Errigal, and by the
Atlantic Ocean on the other. A fair is held on the last Thursday
of each month. Minerals exist to a great extent in the
neighbourhood, notably, silver and lead at Keeldrum, soapstone near the
gap of Muckish, oxide of iron (bog ore) in the boggy regions near the
base of Muckish, flags, equal to those of Caithness, at Meenalaw, slates
at Ballyboes, and quartz abound in quantity throughout the surrounding
district. Great quantities of herring are caught in the season at
Ballynass Bay, near the village, and the greater bulk of these are
despatched by rail, fresh, to the large inland towns, and also to the
Midland cities and towns in England and Scotland.

FINTONA
The town of Fintona is situated in the southern division of the
County of Tyrone, and is noted for its commercial activity and
importance of its fairs and markets, which rank among the most
successful in the county. A market for pork, corn, butter, etc.,
is held every Friday, and a horse, cattle, sheep, and pig fair on the
22nd of each month. Some years ago a nine-hole golf course,
reputed to be one of the finest and most picturesque inland links in
Ireland, was laid out on the Ecclesville grounds, and the privileges
then granted to the local club have been further extended by the present
owner, Mr. Browne Lecky. The shops' half-holiday is on
Wednesday. The population of the town according to the census of
1911 was 1,100

FIVEMILETOWN
A market town with 528 inhabitants, in the southern extremity of
County Tyrone, near the Fermanagh boundary, on a ridge which forms the
Watershed between the Erne and the Northern Blackwater, which flows into
Lough Neagh. Before the Ulster Plantation it is said to have been
called Ballynalurgan, and for some time afterwards to have borne the
name of Blessingbourne, that of the Plantation Manor in which it is
situated. Early in the last century, however, it acquired its
present name, supposed to be derived from the fact that it is five miles
from Clogher, Tempo, and Brookeborough respectively. It is a
station on the Clogher Valley Light Railway, 28 miles (statute) from
Tynan Junction. There is a weekly pork, butter, corn and egg
market, and a monthly cattle fair. The business of the town has
much increased since the opening of the Clogher Valley line in 1885, and
it is expected to increase in size and prosperity. It lies in the
midst of a leasing (pleasing), undulating, well-timbered, well-farmed
portion of the Clogher Valley.

GARVAGH
This pretty little town is situate almost on the extreme verge of the
County Derry, being only four miles from the River Bann, which divides
it from County Antrim. It is nine miles Irish from Coleraine, and
twenty-three from Derry City. It is considered by judges to be one
of the prettiest little towns in Ulster, or perhaps in Ireland.
This is greatly owing to the great breadth of its main street, which is
second to none in the North in that respect. It is also of some
historic interest, especially for a battle fought between Loyalists
commanded by Colonel Canning, and Sir Phelim Roe O'Neill, in 1641, in
which Colonel Canning's force was defeated and himself killed. It
is a good agricultural and cattle raising district; the soil is of a
dry, light nature, easily laboured, and not easily injured by drought or
wet. Markets are held three days in the week - Tuesday and
Thursday for grain; Friday for pork, butter and eggs. There is
also a monthly fair, third Friday each month, for cattle, sheep, and
horses. Good fishing and shooting can be had in the neighbourhood
of the town, which in 1911 had a population of 494.

GLASLOUGH
This little village, situate about four miles from the
town of Monaghan, was originally granted to O'Bear McKenna by O'Neill of
Ulster on condition that he and his descendants would pay
"Connaght" or tribute and furnish white meat and oats to one
Glen O'Neill on certain days when they visited the Holy Well at
Tubberpatrick, and that he would never wage war against the
O'Neills. The town appears to have grown around the residence of
the McKennas, who were succeeded by Dr. John Leslie, the Irish founder of
the present Leslie family. The site of the great part of the old
town is taken up by the splendid demesne of Sir John Leslie, Bart.
Members of the Leslie family represented the County Monaghan in the Irish
Parliament, and afterwards in the Imperial Parliament for nearly 100
years. Adjoining the villages is Drumbanagher Fort, which was the
scene of a famous battle over 300 years ago. Fairs are held on the
third Friday in every month. The shops' half-holiday is on Thursday

GLENARM
Is a pleasant little seaport in the County Antrim,
thirty-six miles N. from Belfast on the coast road between Larne and
Ballycastle. It is delightfully situated at the foot of a deep
glen opening to the sea, surrounded by bold, romantic, and imposing
scenery. Glenarm River flows past on the north-west side, emptying
itself into a bat of its name. Carnlough is about three miles
distant, Cushendall about fourteen, and four miles further, still
proceeding north, is the lovely village of Cushendun. Glenarm is
frequented by steam and sailing vessels from England and Scotland, which
bring brick, coals, and slates, taking back whiting, timber, lime and
limestone; of the latter large quantities are shipped by the Eglinton
Limestone Co. Ltd., who have made great improvements in the method of
manufacture, changing the driving power from water to steam. Petty
Sessions Courts are held on the first Monday of every month, and there
are four fairs in the year - 26th January, 26th May, 30th August, and
29th October. Population in 1911, 951, a decrease of 105 since
previous census.

GLENAVY
Glenavy is a very charming village, picturesquely
situated about one mile and a half from Lough Neagh. As the village
is only seventeen miles by rail, and eleven by road from Belfast, it is a
most suitable and convenient place for parties wishing to picnic on Ram's
Island, or on the shores of Lough Neagh. The Glenavy River is a
favourite resort for anglers, the fishing there being remarkably
good. Glenavy is on a branch line from Lisburn to Antrim, there
being four trains daily each way, and also direct communication between
Dublin and Belfast. The district contains objects of interest such
as the ruins of the Church and Palace of Bishop Jeremy Taylor, and the
remains of the beautiful stables built by the Earl of Conway about 1664;
but all the buildings, including the Church and Palace, were demolished
in the year 1761. The population is 300 or over, as the village is partly
situated in Camlin Parish and Glenavy Parish, the river dividing

GORTIN
Is a picturesque little town, situate in the Parish of
Lower Badoney, County Tyrone, about ten miles north of Omagh, and six
miles east of Newtownstewart, both stations of the Great Northern
Railway Company. The station of the latter town is the one from
which the goods and passenger traffic is carried on. The town of
Gortin is very ancient, and is composed of one continuous street, with
houses on both sides, and a bridge spanning the centre. Fairs are
held on the Wednesday of each month, at which there is always a good
attendance of buyers, and at which large quantities of pigs, cattle,
horses, and sheep, especially the latter, are offered for sale. A
market is held every Wednesday for the sale of farm produce. There
is a fine Co-operative Creamery about half a mile from the village,
which was established in 1902 as a separating station, but since
converted into a full churning centre and experiment station, fully
equipped with the latest dairy machinery, on Danish lines, to which the
manufacture of cheese was added in 1917. There is an auxiliary in
connection with the creamery at Eden, near Plumbridge. The
surrounding district, particularly the Greencastle district, abounds in
mineral deposits of a very valuable and varied nature, including galena
and iron pyrites at Teebane West and Glenlark, also plumbago. The
minerals have been analysed and reported on very favourably. It is
also rich in archaeological remains, including a fine Oghane stone at
Aghascrebagh. The population is 267

GREYABBEY
Is the site of an old abbey founded for Cistercian monks
by Affreca, wife of Sir John De Courcey, and daughter of Godred, King of
the Isle of Man, A.D. 1193. It was destroyed
by the army of O'Neill in the great rebellion of 1641, and was never
afterwards repaired. The ruins are now overgrown with ivy, which
gives them a romantic appearance. The nave of the abbey church and
a portion of the choir and transcepts are still standing, but the cells,
dormitories, and other buildings for the use of the household have fallen
in, only enough remaining to trace out the compass of ground which the
whole structure occupied. The vicinity of these ruins is beautiful
and picturesque. The shops' half-holiday is on Saturday

GROOMSPORT
Is a picturesque little seaport in the County of Down,
about fifteen miles from Belfast, on the coast road between Bangor and
Donaghadee. It is delightfully situated at the entrance to Belfast
Lough. The Copeland Islands lie about three miles off, and visitors
generally visit the lighthouse erected on Mew Island. Groomsport is
the most important fishing station near Belfast, there being between
thirty and forty fishermen entirely dependent on this industry.
There is a very fine natural harbour, and the old pier dates back to the
time of the Danes. It has been entirely reconstructed by the County
Council, and it now takes its place as one of the most complete along the
coast. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution have a first-class
station here, and the Board of Trade have a rocket apparatus
station. It is said that the first ship ever built in Ireland was
made at Groomsport. It is also famous as the spot where General
Schomberg landed with 10,000 men on 13th August, 1689, to march through
Belfast and besiege Carrickfergus
