The 147 stacks of the range are numbered from left to right and we shall be telling you about their names with the original Irish spelling and the meaning of the word. A special thanks goes to the Renaissance Man that is Seoirse O'Dochartaigh who compiled this information in the booklet 'The Mountains, Loughs, Rivers and Place-names around Donegal Town'.
The final 51 stacks are to the right of Barnesmore Gap, which as you'll soon see, is a somewhat superfluous title as it translates into the the big gap gap. The stacks in this range cross over into County Tyrone.
We are delighted to have native Irish speaker, Moya Reid (originally from Kilcar) recite the names of all of the stacks in Irish. In the following audio piece, she can be heard reciting the Irish of all the stacks named and listed below.
