Known locally as Coolanlough, which is
generally accepted to be a translation of ‘the back
of the lough’, the clachan of Coolalough is situated
just to the south-east of Lough na Crannoge, sheltered
from the North and East by the higher ground of Fair Head,
but fairly exposed to the West. As was the custom, all
the front entrances, except one, of the houses opened
to the East.
At present, three of the original five houses are in use
as holiday homes, and there is no permanent resident in
Coolalough.
The photographs below show the buildings which make up the
clachan area today. Click on the pictures to
