| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "A description of Killarney by Dunn" is a travelogue and topographical account written in the late 18th century. The book portrays the Lakes of Killarney and their surroundings in County Kerry, sketching landscapes, islands, mountains, flora and fauna, echoes, and local lore with a picturesque sensibility. The narrative maps the two main northern lakes (the Great Lake/Lough Leane and Turk Lake) and the upper southern lake, tracing shores, bays, peninsulas, rivers, and cascades while naming key features such as Glená, Tomies, Mangerton, Turk, the Eagle’s Nest, M’Gilly Cuddy’s Reeks, and the Mucrus peninsula. It lingers on O’Sullivan’s Cascade, the wooded richness of Mucrus and Camillan, and the dramatic echoes at the Eagle’s Nest and along the Great Range; it catalogs islands in detailed clusters—Ross Island, Innisfallen, Brickeen, Dinish, the Oak Islands, and Arbutus Island—describing their vegetation (yew, holly, arbutus) and wildlife (red deer, eagles, grouse). Anecdotes include a learned poor boy, a backsliding hermit at Mucrus Abbey, the legend of O’Donahue, and a hunter’s cottage on a remote islet; there are notes on arbutus fruit, bog formation, and concerns about felling ancient woods. The final section defines Killarney’s character as variety and beauty, recommends vantage points (Yellow Mountain, Aghadoe, Dunloe, Mucrus, Turk, Mangerton, Crom-a-glaun), celebrates shifting light and weather, and defends the region’s abundant rains as the source of its luxuriant scenery.
