Scarriff〔Central Statistics Office, Census 2002, (Population of Towns ordered by County and size, 1996 and 2002 ).〕 or Scariff () is a large village〔 in east County Clare, Ireland, situated in the midwest of Ireland. The town is on the West end of Lough Derg and is best known for its harbour. The Scarriff Market House is easily recognisable, and it is therefore often used to represent the town.〔(Official Scariff Website ) (top-left), Scariff News, (October 2007 ) (top-right, example - (see the archive for more examples )).〕 ==Location== The name "Scarriff" comes from the Irish "scarbh", which may mean either a shallow, a rocky shore or a rough ford. All of these are appropriate to the early town, which lies at a crossing on the River Graney upstream from its mouth on Lough Derg. In 1831 the town of Scarriff had 120 houses, as well as oil and flour mills. There was one main street running up from the river. The small market town is popular with anglers who fish the Graney, the Shannon and Lough O'Grady, which is two miles west of the town.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/places/scarriff_history.htm )〕 The town of Scariff is in the Catholic parish of Scariff and Moynoe. Parish churches are the Sacred Heart in Scariff and St Mary's in Clonusker. Tuamgraney and Inis Cealtra are nearby. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scarriff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
