"Mac Cailin - A Martial Clan"

Sister Maire had this in her collection of documents on the McCallion family.

It appears this article was published in "Donegal Annual 1981", which is published by "County Donegal Historical Society"

If there was a link to the article I would use that. Instead posting images here.





















Note the references to the 1608 rebellion is to O'Doherty's Rebellion:

References to Inis Eoghain is the current Inishowen peninsula.

Based on bottom of page 5, the town of RedCastle was the home of the original fort for Cathar Mhic Ailin ... sounds like it is time for a road trip! Paul? John? Kath?
