Profile

Bridge of Tears

This small bridge on the road from Falcarragh through the Muckish Gap is where relatives of people who were going to the port in Derry to emigrate would say their goodbyes to their loved ones with the likelihood that they would never see them again.

Beside the bridge, there is a plaque in Irish

Fad leis seo a thagadh
Cairde agus Luth gaoil
An té a bhi ag imeacht
Chun no Coigriche
b’anseo an scaradh
Seo Droichead no nDeor

which translates as “Family and friends of the person leaving for foreign lands would come this far. Here was the separation. This is the Bridge of Tears”.

The town of Falcarragh has a Facebook page which you can see here.
