Kilmacrennan
Kilmacrennan〔Official spelling used by, among others, (Kilmacrennan School ), (Raphoe Diocese's Parish of Kilmacrennan ), (Kilmacrennan Celtic Football Club ).〕 (Gaelic: ''Cill Mhic nÉanáin'' or ''Cill Mhic Réanáin'')〔(Bunachar Logainmneacha na hÉireann/Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 is a small village in County Donegal, Ireland. The village had a population of 685 in the 2011 census, however the village's population has increased steadily over the last decade with many new housing developments catering, in particular, for overspill population from Letterkenny. Kilmacrennan was historically the ''caput'' of its eponymous Barony of Kilmacrennan, of the eight Baronies of Donegal.
The Battle of Kilmacrennan was fought near the village in 1608 during O'Doherty's Rebellion.
==Geography==
Kilmacrennan lies on the N56 10 km northwest of Letterkenny, which is the largest town in County Donegal. The village's name 'Cill Mhic nEanain' means 'the church of the sons of Eanan'.
Two rivers flow through the village, the Lennon and the Lurgy. Traditionally, the river Lennon was renowned for salmon fishing; however, the salmon numbers have dropped dramatically in recent years. Most anglers blame pollution for this. The salmon and trout population is slowing increasing but will take a number of years for it to reach its old level.
