Kilcar

Cill Charthaigh (anglicised as Kilcar) is a Gaeltacht village on the R263 regional road in the south-west of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. It is also a townland of 233 acres and a civil parish in the historic barony of Banagh. Kilcar's main street has a Catholic church (known locally as 'the chapel') at one end and two textile factories at the other end. In between there are several shops and three pubs. The village has a tweed handweaving facility, with a shop selling tweed products. Kilcar is also known for its tradition in knitting. The primary school is about 750 metres from the main street, and the parish of Kilcar stretches to the 'burn' which separates it from the next village, Carrick, which is about 5 kilometres away. Located near the Slieve League cliffs, Kilcar is known for its coastal landscapes and musical traditions.
