Connemara.  Oughterard (the village McGeough’s shop is in) is known as the gateway to Connemara. Connemara lies in the territory of Iar Connacht, "West Connacht", which is the portion of County Galway west of Lough Corrib. The land is rugged and beautiful and still has a thriving Gaelic culture. This page has photos of the area and a link to music from Don Stiffe a local artist.   Click thumbnail to enlarge
