thumb Sheephaven Bay ((アイルランド語:Cuan na gCaorach)) is a broad, shallow inlet on the north coast of County Donegal, Ireland. Bounded by the peninsulae of Rosguill, to the east and Horn Head ((アイルランド語:Corran Binne)) to the west, the bay is relatively protected from the full force of the Atlantic Ocean, and has supported a vibrant herring fleet. ==Etymology== The gaelic name Cuan na gCaorach (Haven of the Sheep) is a neologism, from a mistranslation of ''Cuan na gCurrach'', The Bay or Haven of the Currachs or Boats. When the name was translated to English, the word Ship (used by monoglot locals for Boat) was misheard as Sheep. ==Settlements around the Bay== *Downings *Carrigart *Creeslough *Marble Hill *Portnablagh *Dunfanaghy 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「Sheephaven Bay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
