クラノグのおすすめツーリングルート

バリーシャノンにとって、ローリー・ギャラガーは単なる世界的に有名なギタリストではありません。彼はアイルランド最古の街で「生まれ育った」誇りなのです。幼い頃にコークに移り住みましたが、バリーシャノンは心から彼を自分たちの息子としています。彼は1948年にロック・ホスピタルでここで生まれ、その深い繋がりは街の至る所で感じられます。 地元コミュニティの目には、ローリーはドネガルの謙虚で勤勉な精神を体現しています。彼は、象徴的な、使い古されたフェンダー・ストラトキャスターと特徴的なチェック柄のシャツを武器に、ブルースをアイルランドの魂にもたらした人物でした。住民にとって、彼は毎年世界中から何千人ものファンがローリー・ギャラガー国際トリビュート・フェスティバルに集まる理由であり、街を一時のロックンロールの中心地へと変貌させます。ローリーはここでは遠い伝説ではなく、ダイヤモンドにある像や街を飾るカラフルな壁画の中に生き続ける、触れることのできる存在なのです。

Rory GALLAGHER の音楽を聴きたい方は – イギリスのタイムズ紙が「彼のスタイルは非常に個性的で、数秒で認識できる数少ないギタリストの一人だ」と称賛した –: 1977年、アイルランド出身（1948年～1995年）の彼は、当時ドイツで人気だったWestdeutscher Rundfunk（WDR）の番組「Rockpalast」で1時間のコンサートを行い、その模様はYouTubeで視聴可能です => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qkr-XlNZKM

The Wee Bakery Coffee Shop Ballyshannon Address: Main St, Townparks, Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal, F94 HTW5 Lovely little cafe with friendly staff and tasty food. If you have the opportunity to stop here, do so.

In the graveyard are several interesting stones, probably the most noted one is known as the Bishops stone, this odd shaped stone has been altered and reused several times, originally thought to have been a carved figure similar to those on nearby White Island. Another stone with a lot of history is the large slab standing west of the bishops stone, one side of the stone bears at least twelve cup-shaped hollows, see image above right, which suggest this maybe a multiple bullaun stone/cup marked stone that has been reused as an early Christian cross slab, as on the obverse face is a Greek cross in a circle with a bifurcated stem. Situated south of the bullaun stone is a holed stone, as the image shows this stone is half embedded in the ground. Immediately to the West of the holed stone is a broken 1.2 metre high stone pillar. This stone may have been damaged. http://www.megalithicireland.com/Killadeas.htm
