Lough Leane
Lough Leane () is largest of the three lakes of Killarney. The River Laune flows from the lake into the Dingle Bay to the northwest. ==Etymology and history== The lake's name means "lake of learning" probably in reference to the monastery on Innisfallen, an island in the lake. Innisfallen was a centre of scholarship in the early Middle Ages, producing the ''Annals of Innisfallen'' and, according to legend, educating King Brian Boru. Another historic site, the tower house Ross Castle sits on Ross Island in the lake. Ross Island is rich in copper. Archaeological evidence suggests the island has been mined since the time of the Bronze Age Beaker People.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ross Island )〕〔J. P. N. Northover, W. O'Brien and S. Stos.
