Music, dancing and marvellous scenes were enjoyed at Donegal’s treasured Grianan of Aileach last weekend. 

The hill fort at Burt was transformed into a multicoloured festival setting on Saturday 5th May. The event was organised to celebrate the historic and cultural links between An Grianan Inishowen and Tulach Og fort in Co. Tyrone.

Inishowen Traditional Musicians put on a wonderful carnival performance at An Grianan in the evening. As darkness fell, both forts were illuminated by a light show to connect the two ancient strongholds of Cineal Eoghain.

Videographer Bren Whelan caught the events on drone camera to make this impressive video of a first-of-its-kind event:
