Who We Are

In case you're wondering who's providing all this information, and how we created this website, allow us to introduce ourselves briefly...

We are Frances and Mary, supported by our wonderful Celtic family. Our ancient Gaelic Celtic ancestry is both Irish and Scottish.

We've lived in Donegal for decades now, having fallen head over heels in love with this enchanting county on our first ever family vacation.

Since then, we've gained over half a century's worth of first-hand local knowledge and unique insights into the county's superb attractions, history, heritage, culture and friendly warmhearted people.

If you live in a scenic location you might have experienced, as we have, the pleasure of showing visitors around your favorite sights. Showing visiting family and friends the best of Donegal has been one of our favorite activities over the years. It's like going on vacation all over again every time, with our favorite people!

When Mary found a way to create this website (link opens new window) despite having only basic computer skills, it enabled us to present Donegal of the Celts to the world.
