Tiny pub-grocer's at the Glencolmcille Folk Village, also known as Father McDyer's Folk Village Museum, Gleann Cholm Cille, County Donegal, Ireland.


Glencolmcille Folk Village, also known as Father McDyer's Folk Village Museum is a cluster of several small cottages, called a ‘clachan’, perched on a hillside overlooking the sandy curve of Glen Bay Beach in the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area) of South West Donegal. Designed, built and maintained by the local people, the Folk Village is one of Ireland's best living-history museums. Each cottage is an exact replica of a dwelling used by the local people in each of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and is equipped with the furniture, artifacts and utensils of its particular period, built and maintained by the local people.
