Inishtrahull Island: Emigrants last sight of the homes they were leaving

Inishtrahull Island, Malin Head, Co Donegal, the most northerly point of the country and the last

Last week we featured Ireland’s most westerly island Inishtearaght, Co Kerry. This week it is the turn of Inishtrahull, Co Donegal, the most northerly point of the country.

This beautiful island, once home to a thriving fishing population, has two high ends on which are situated a current and an historic lighthouse, and a low, fertile plateau that links them.
