Hi Turlough, its not you that
Posted on Fri, 14 Nov 2025
Hi Turlough, its not you that's changed in your mindset. I find one of the reasons I don't like going back to old haunts, is because they change so much from what It was like back in the day. Even the village where I grew up had lost its sparkle...

Your description of Saint Eigneach's Well, that you say, was a lovely spot. Semi anglicised as Columbkille's Well, that was further anglicised as St Columba's Well, where Saint Eigneach meditated - according to tradition...was...
