When I first saw this lake, 500m above sea level, I was dumb-struck. All that kept going through my mind were the first few lines of Dylan Thomas' 'Under Milkwood'.
It really isn't surprising that this place became sacred. The black peaty water seems to have a life of its own. The little chopping waves appear to go where they please, not bothering to take any notice of the wind. The sound of them lapping against the peaty bank here and a rock there tick-tocks with an out of time rhythm, if that's possible, and holds you transfixed.
The lake is known as Calliagh Berras Lough. Who better to give this lake to than the Hag?
