| Rossnowlagh is situated on the Atlantic coast between Ballyshannon and Donegal Town. The name is an anglicisation of Ros Neamhlach, meaning 'wood of the apple trees' which is a corruption of an older Irish name, 'Ros an Abhla'. Rossnowlagh is famous for its 4km beach which is regarded as one of the most scenic Blue Flag beaches in Donegal and is popular for surfing and swimming. Rossnowlagh is also know for its Franciscan Friary and the annual 12th of July marches by the Orange Order which commemorate the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Tá Ros Neamhlach suite ar chósta na hAtlantach idir Béal Átha Seannaigh agus Baile Dhún na nGall. Ainm anglacách de Ros Neamhlach atá ann agus ciallaíonn seo [wood of the apple trees] agus tá an t-ainm seo ina chorbach ar ainm Ghaelach eile, níos séine arís, darbh ainm "Ros an Abhla". Tá clú ar Ros Neamhlach de bharr an trá 4 chiliméadar i leithead agus seo ceann amháin de na tráighe i nDún na nGall le Brat Ghorm. Tá an áit seo coitianta le haghaidh spóirt uisce agus snámh. Tá aithne ar Ros Neamhlach mar gheall ar an Mhainistir Proinsiasach atá anseo agus fósta na máirseáil a bhíonn ar siúl ag an Ordú Óraiste ar an 12ú lá de mhí Iúil achan bhliain a cheiliúrann Cáth na Boinne i 1690. © |
