Wool & Silk Pashmina Scarf - Feenish

Feenish Island, south Connemara A callous land agent once tried to burn down the house of a family on Mweenish Island for non-payment of rent. The agent had already destroyed a handful of houses on nearby Feenish Island. When the burning party set out for Mweenish, the priest urged all the Feenish islanders to sink to their knees and pray. The story goes that God heard the people’s cry and a bolt of lightning shot out from the Heavens and struck the agent dead before he could do their neighbours harm.
