Turas Glencolmcille

Gleann Cholm Cille is a beautiful valley in the west of Donegal, along the Wild Atlantic Way. This Irish-speaking area has a strong traditional link with St. Colmcille, the Glen is named after him.
In Gleann Cholm Cille, the Slí Cholmcille follows the route of the Turas Cholmcille. The Turas - translated as the journey - is part of a strong Christian pilgrimage tradition in Ireland.
The Turas links a number of ancient stones some of which date back to 3000BC. The standing stones which form the core of the Turas probably date from 500-700AD.
The Turas Cholmcille is performed between the eve of 9th June - the Saint’s Feast Day - and 15th August - Feast of the Assumption, a major festival in Irish folklife.

I stayed in Glencolmcille one summer -- and walked the Turas. So grateful. A place of beauty.
