Croithlí is the only official name. The anglicised spelling Crolly, which is still widely used, no longer has any official status. |
Croithlí or Croichshlí (anglicised as Crolly)[2] is a village in the Gaeltacht parishes and traditional districts of Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair) and The Rosses (Na Rossan) in the west of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. The two 'districts' are separated by the Crolly River (also known as the Gweedore River). It has one convenience shop/restaurant and petrol station and one public house, Páidí Óg's.[3] Crolly is located in two baronies: the Gweedore part of the village is in the Barony of Kilmacrenan, while The Rosses part of the village is in the Barony of Boylagh, the Crolly River being the boundary between the two baronies.[4][5]
