Malin Head County Donegal, Ireland

Malin Head, in County Donegal, is the most northerly point in the island of Ireland. It lies at the top of the Inishowen Peninsula, jutting out into the wild North Atlantic as though it were a look-out guard warning of what storms were approaching from the west. In fact, it plays that role in a very effective way with an Irish Meteorlogical Service station based there, and any Irish person listening to the weather forecast will inevitably hear of Malin Head, particularly those with an interest in fishing and farming.
