Roscommon Folk Tales

Roscommon has a rich heritage of myths and legends, which is uniquely captured in this collection of traditional tales from across the county.

Here you will find tales of Queen Maeve, the famous warrior queen who had a home in Roscommon and the legend of the Giant Leabaigh's Rock, along with stories of witches, hags, ghosts and fairies. In a vivid journey through Roscommon's varied landscape, local storyteller Pat Watson takes the reader to places where legend and landscape are inseparably linked.
