Ár sraith logainmneacha Fhánada ar ais do #LánaGaeltachta. BAILE NA LOISTE - Chuala mé ó fhear na háite gur cheap go leor daoine gur bhain 'loiste' le 'lóistín' mar corruair chuirfeadh an lucht siúil fúthu i dtithe áitiúla sa bhaile fearainn seo fadó. Ach tá sé agam ó scoláire logainmneacha gur 'losaid' a bhí i gceist, mar atá i bhfoclóir Dinneen. Mar sin, 'the town of the kneading trough'. BALLINALOST - I heard from a local man that this was believed to have come from the Irish word 'lóistín' meaning lodgings. Years ago, travellers used to stay occasionally in lodgings in this townland. But I have it from a scholar of place-names that it comes from 'losaid', as recorded in Dinneen's dictionary, meaning kneading-trough, so the town of the kneading-trough!

Lovely review in from a family who took a tour of the lighthouse on their holidays recently.
Absolutely ❤️ the pic of the kids walking back from the lighthouse eating their sandwiches in the rain. Irish summer "Myself and kids visited Fanad Lighthouse the week before last. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience a working lighthouse. We were fascinated to hear about the history of the lighthouse especially about the people who lived and worked there. We climbed the spiral staircase to the top to see the view and look through binoculars. Aisling, our guide was able to answer all our questions and spoke fluent Irish to myself and my children which was a lovely surprise. I would highly recommend it even on a wet and windy day such as the one we had." #wildatlanticway #govisitdonegal #GreatLighthousesOfIreland #lighthouse #donegal #travel #ireland #coast #fanad #ireland #travel #fáilteireland #tourismireland #touristattraction #irishsummer #History #discoverireland
Il weekend sta arrivando e anche noi facciamo i salti di gioia
Costruito nel 1811 dopo il tragico naufragio della HMS Saldanha quando, a quanto si narra, l'unico superstite fu il pappagallo della nave, il faro di Fanad Head nella contea di Donegal ha salvato da allora innumerevoli vite. Arroccato sulla costa occidentale della penisola di Fanad Head, offre viste spettacolari e anche la possibilità di alloggiare in uno dei suoi tre delizoisi cottage.

St John's Point lighthouse unique yellow and black stripes were painted on it in the early 1950s. It is the only lighthouse in Ireland to have these sequence of colours. The colour a lighthouse is painted is called its day mark and helps sea traffic identify it. The distinctive black and yellow were used as an experiment as they thought it might be easier to spot in fog.
The Irish playwright Brendan Behan was engaged in painting the lighthouse around this time. His father had a painting buisness that won a contract to paint a number of Irish lighthouses. There is a letter of complaint in existence written by the lighthouse keeper to his boss complaining about Behan and his work at St John's Point.
I was was telling my Mother this bit of history last night and she casually dropped the fact that Behan also worked for her father . He (my grandfather) was also a painter and seemingly didn't think too much about Behan either.
That's what I love about telling stories and sharing history. Someone will always come back with a little bit more than you brought and add colour to the story. If I had never told my mother that story I probably would never have known that Brendan Behan worked for my grandfather.

Today is a triple throwback Thursday...
St. John's Point Lighthouse sits on the northernmost point of Dundrum bay in Co.Down. The Titanic used the lighthouse as a mark during its sea trials around Dundrum bay. No wonder as it is the tallest lighthouse on the coast of the island of Ireland. It must have been some sight to see the titanic move up and down the Irish sea. .
