Saint Columbs Rill

Saint Columb's Rill is a tributary of the much more famous River Bush (An Bhuais in Irish) in Northern Ireland. This 'rill' or rivulet is really a small stream that rises in bog land approximately five miles (eight kilometres) southeast of the village of Bushmills[1] in County Antrim. The rill is named after the patron saint[2] of Derry[3] (Doire in Irish).
