Ireland / Louth

LOUTH

County Louth is one of the traditional counties of Ireland and is located within the province of Leinster. It is affectionately called "the Wee County" being the smallest of Ireland’s 32 counties.
The area of Omeath was Irish-speaking until the early 20th century. A native dialect of Louth Irish existed there until about 1930, but is now extinct, although recordings have been made.

This is a county steeped in myth, legend and history, going back to the pre-historical days of the Táin Bó Cúailnge (Cooley Cattle Raid). Later it saw the influence of the Vikings as seen in the name of Carlingford Lough.

There are a number of historic sites in the county, including religious sites at Monasterboice and Mellifont Abbey.
