The remains of the keep of Mongavlin Castle can still be seen on the banks of the River Foyle. This was once the home of Ineen Dubh, mother of the famous Red Hugh O’Donnell, Chief of Tirconaill. There is a fascinating local tradition that following her marriage to Red Hugh’s father, Princess Ineen brought her own bodyguard of 100 soldiers over from Scotland.
