Fintown (officially known by its Irish name, Irish: Baile na Finne[1]) is a small village and townland on the banks of Lough Finn in County Donegal, Ireland. It is within the Gaeltacht, an Irish-speaking area, in the west of the county. Overlooked by Aghla (589m, 1961 ft) and Screig Mountains, its main attraction is Irish: an Mhuc Dhubh, the Fintown Railway (Donegal's only operational narrow gauge railway), which runs along the length of Lough Finn.[2] The village was named after a mythological woman, Fionngheal, who drowned in the lake after attempting to save her wounded brother Feargamhain.[3]
As of the 2016 census, there were 88 people in the townland of Fintown,[4] and 280 people in the electoral division of Irish: Baile na Finne (the surrounding hinterland).[5] Of these, 59% were Irish speakers.
