Inishmaan (WOD)

Inis Meáin, or Inishmaan, is one of the three main islands of the Aran Islands in Ireland.

Overview

Inishmaan lies across from Inishmore by the strait known as Gregory's Sound, named for Saint Gregory whose coffin supposedly rose from its burial place in Rome and made its way back to the islands in response to the saint's wish to lie in the earth of Aran. A number of historic and legendary sites dot the landscape, including the stone fort of Dún Fearbhai, Cill Cheannach (a 12th century stone church), and a cottage made famous as the summer residence of playwright John Millington Synge. Dún Chonchúir, located atop the highest point of Inishmaan, gets its name from Conor, the brother of the Fir-bholg chieftain Aenghus.
