This beautiful scarf features a Celtic knot design in tones of green and gold. Located off the
west coast, in County Mayo, Achill is the largest of the country’s many islands. Much has been
written about Achill, but perhaps a lesser known claim to fame is the fabled existence of the
Dobhar Chu, a mythical lake monster, in Sraheens Lough on the island. Irish folklore is littered
with legendary ghoulish water creatures, but few are as scary as Dobhar Chu (pronounced do-war
coo), or ‘Hound of the Deep’. The creature is believed to live in many Irish lakes, but the largest
number of sightings have been on Achill. Providing another link with Ireland’s close cultural
neighbour Scotland, the Dobhar Chu is apparently considered to be a relation of the famous Lough
Ness monster.
