GWEEDORE

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 750 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GWEEDORE , a hamlet and tourist resort of Co. Donegal, Ireland, on the Londonderry & Lough Swilly &
Letterkenny
 
railway. The river Clady, running past the
village
  from the Nacung Loughs, affords salmon and trout fishing. The fine surrounding scenery culminates to the
east
  in the wild
mountain
  Errigal (2466 ft.) at the upper end of the loughs. The
place
  owes its popularity as a resort to Lord George Hill (d. 1899), who also laboured for the amelioration of the conditions of the peasantry on his estate, and combated the Rundale
system
  of minute repartition of property. In 1889, during the troubles which arose out of evictions, Gweedore was the headquarters of the Irish constabulary, when
District
  Inspector Martin was openly murdered on attempting to arrest a priest on his way to
Mass
 .
