The Islands of Ireland: In search of tranquility

Apart from the several variations in its spelling in Irish and English, Inishtubbrid, Co Clare is also recognised by three other names: Wall’s Island; O’Grady’s Island and Inishtubber which surely puts it up there as the island with most names — not counting say Inisvickillane, Co Kerry which has about 33 variations to that spelling.

Inishtubbrid helps to bisect the flow from the River Fergus but, in truth, said river has already been dissipated once it hits the estuary of the same name.
