Geroid Island, Lough Gur
Geroid Island, Lough Gur
According to legend, the goddess Aine, like the Breton Morgan, may sometimes be seen combing her hair, only half her body appearing above the lake. And in times of calmness and clear water, according to another legend, one may behold beneath Aine’s lake the lost enchanted castle of her son Geroid, close to Garrod Island—so named from Gerdid or ‘Gerald’.
