| aughty.org aims to provide a focus for
information and discussion about the Slieve Aughty uplands in
Counties Clare and Galway in the west of Ireland. The site was
launched on Earth Day, April 22 2006 at a gathering in Crusheen
called Aughty People and Earth Day, hosted by Heritage
Inchicronan. People from around the region and further afield
explored ways in which the heritage of the Aughties could be
recorded, protected and enhanced by considering the region as
a whole. A year later, on April 21 2007, Kilchreest-Castledaly Heritage Group hosted the Aughty Gathering, where the interest in this approach to the region's heritage was reaffirmed by the large and enthusiastic attendance. We hope to stimulate more debate
and research, connect groups and individuals and generally raise
awareness about this unique place. If you'd like to contribute
to this project or find out more about it, please contact
us. |
