  Portrait of County Sligo
Gareth McCormack (Author)
...The Norman influence can be seen throughout Sligo in the many castles and abbeys they left behind. Modern Sligo is a thriving, multi-cultural town, which boasts a vibrant cultural life and successfully mixes historic buildings with bold, new architectural styles.
Although mountains are at the county's heart, Sligo wraps both arms around the Atlantic. Its coastline is world-famous for the quality of its surfing, a happy by-product of the flat limestone reefs that predominate. Although the county has no great sea cliffs to rival those of other counties on Ireland's west coast, it does have some spectacular coastal landscapes like Mullaghmore Head, and it also boasts some of the prettiest beaches and harbours anywhere on the Irish coast...

History of Sligo

  Sligo Heritage
County Sligo in the west coast province of Connacht, has everything. For those who take time to read the landscape, every stone and hill has its own unique, often bloody, story to tell. Here one can literally trace the dramatic tendrils of our nation, from mythological origins through a turbulent history to a modern nation. In its lofty mountains, its winding rivers, its jagged coastline, God has created here a land blessed by time and unspoiled by time or man.

  Tales from Sligo and the West  -  Dennis P. Sommers (Author) - 059536151X
"Tales from Sligo and the West" encompasses both historic and contemporary views of the magical and mystical nature of this region. The literary tradition in this area is as ancient as any on earth, dating back thousands of years, originating in the oral traditions of the Irish Celts, Druids, Poets, and Bards. These traditions were carried forth by the early Christian monks who incorporated and preserved the Celtic/Gaelic stories and artwork into their outstanding illuminated manuscripts, now realized as the oldest and most beautiful ever produced, many of which are now housed in the great library of Trinity College, Dublin. The highly inspirational history of this small island has produced many of the world's greatest authors, including Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, Oliver Goldsmith, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Bram Stoker, Sean O'Casey, C. S. Lewis, Kate O'Brien, Lady Augusta Gregory, Patrick Kavanagh, Brian Friel, Dermot Healy, Willie Joe Meally; and, includes four Nobel Laureates, William Butler Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett , and Seamus Heaney. "Tales from Sligo and the West" is the next progression of this extraordinary tradition.
