1988 - Fr Hegarty's Rock Buncrana, Mass - Inishowen Knitters filmed at Gleneely
A short film made for Australian TV in 1988 featuring Mass at Fr Hegarty's Rock Buncrana and Inishowen Women Knitting, Gleneely Donegal.
[ Born in 1649, Fr. Hegarty was ordained in Dundalk in 1672 by Oliver Plunkett, Primate of Ireland, and was parish priest at Fahan from 1704 until the time of his death in 1711. He was killed by English Redcoats after they were informed by a Mass-goer, sympathetic to the British, that he was celebrating an unlawful ceremony. Fr. Hegarty managed to escape but while swimming in the Swilly he was convinced by the Redcoats to come ashore. However, when he stepped on dry land, they beheaded him. ]

Lough Swilly & Buncrana Shore Path, Co. Donegal 9 Sept 2018 v1
A day out on the shores of Lough Swilly at Ballybegley near Newtowncunningham and later to Buncrana taking a short walk along the renowned Salmon and Sea Trout river, the Crana. Following that we completed the short coastal path walk to Stragill Strand passing Ned’s Fort and Father Hegarty's burial place and the spot where he was be-headed by the Redcoats in 1711. The weather turned fairly wet and this brought the photography to a quick end.

Buncrana Main Street, Inishowen Peninsula, Donegal
We have arrived at Buncrana on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way and also noted because this is 'Amazing Grace' country. We are out for a short exploratory walk along the main street. We have never visited before. Unfortuantely we do not have a lot of time. It would be great to come back here for longer as I know that we have missed a lot of things like churches beaches shoreline and sculptures.
Buncrana (/ˈbʌn.krænə/; Irish: Bun Cranncha, meaning foot of the (River) Crana) is a town in County Donegal, Ireland. It is beside Lough Swilly on the Inishowen peninsula, 23 kilometres (14 mi) northwest of Derry and 43 kilometres (27 mi) north of Letterkenny. In the 2016 census, the population was 6,785[1] making it the second most populous town in County Donegal, after Letterkenny, and the largest in Inishowen.
Buncrana is the historic home of the O'Doherty clan and originally developed around the defensive tower known as O'Doherty's Keep at the mouth of the River Crana. The town moved to its present location just south of the River Crana when George Vaughan built the main street in 1718.
The town was a major centre for the textile industry in County Donegal from the 19th century until the mid-2000s (decade).
Buncrana has strong connections to the O'Doherty clan, John Newtown, George Vaughan and Wolfe Tone.
When John Newton and his shipmates on The Greyhound found a haven in Lough Swilly on 8 April 1748 after a devastating Atlantic storm, he saw his survival as divine intervention, the answer to prayer. The refuge of the Swilly and Buncrana area laid a spiritual foundation for a reformed later life. In 1764 he became a Church of England clergyman and subsequently, as curate at Olney in Buckinghamshire, an anti-slavery activist and renowned hymnist famous for writing “Amazing Grace”.
We need to come back for a longer stay! So much to see!
In October 1905, Buncrana was the first town in County Donegal to receive electricity. It was generated at Swan Mill which continued to provide electricity for the town until September 1954 when Buncrana was brought under the ESB Rural Electrification Scheme
