========,1,preface.
Achill Island (; ) in County Mayo is the largest island off the coast of Ireland, and is situated off the west coast.
It has a population of 2,700.
Its area is .
Achill is attached to the mainland by Michael Davitt Bridge, between the villages of Gob an Choire (Achill Sound) and Poll Raithní (Polranny).
A bridge was first completed here in 1887, replaced by another structure in 1949, and subsequently replaced with the current bridge which was completed in 2008.
Other centres of population include the villages of Keel, Dooagh, Dumha Éige (Dooega), Dún Ibhir (Dooniver), The Valley and Dugort.
The parish's main Gaelic football pitch and secondary school are on the mainland at Poll Raithní.
Early human settlements are believed to have been established on Achill around 3000 BC.
A paddle dating from this period was found at the crannóg near Dookinella.
The island is 87% peat bog.
The parish of Achill also includes the Curraun peninsula.
Some of the people of Curraun consider themselves Achill people, and most natives of Achill refer to this area as being "in Achill".
There are between 500-600 native Irish speakers in Achill parish.
In the summer of 1996, the RNLI decided to station a lifeboat at Kildownet.
========,2,History.
It is believed that at the end of the Neolithic Period (around 4000 BC), Achill had a population of 500–1,000 people.
The island would have been mostly forest until the Neolithic people began crop cultivation.
Settlement increased during the Iron Age, and the dispersal of small promontory forts around the coast indicate the warlike nature of the times.
Megalithic tombs (see picture, right) and forts can be seen at Slievemore, along the Atlantic Drive and on Achillbeg.
========,3,Overlords.
Achill Island lies in the Barony of Burrishoole, in the territory of ancient Umhall (Umhall Uactarach and Umhall Ioctarach), that originally encompassed an area extending from the County Galway/Mayo border to Achill Head.
The hereditary chieftains of Umhall were the O'Malleys, recorded in the area in 814 AD when they successfully repelled an onslaught by the Vikings in Clew Bay.
The Anglo-Norman invasion of Connacht in 1235 AD saw the territory of Umhall taken over by the Butlers and later by the de Burgos.
The Butler Lordship of Burrishoole continued into the late 14th century when Thomas le Botiller was recorded as being in possession of Akkyll & Owyll.
========,3,Immigration.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, there was much migration to Achill from other parts of Ireland, particularly Ulster, due to the political and religious turmoil of the time.
For a while there were two different dialects of Irish being spoken on Achill.
This led to many townlands being recorded as having two names during the 1824 Ordnance Survey, and some maps today give different names for the same place.
Achill Irish still has many traces of Ulster Irish.
========,3,Specific historical sites and events.
========,4,Grace O'Malley's Castle.
Carrickkildavnet Castle is a 15th-century tower house associated with the O'Malley Clan, who were once a ruling family of Achill.
Grace O' Malley, or Granuaile, the most famous of the O'Malleys, was born on Clare Island around 1530.
Her father was the chieftain of the barony of Murrisk.
The O'Malleys were a powerful seafaring family, who traded widely.
Grace became a fearless leader and gained fame as a sea captain and pirate.
She is reputed to have met with Queen Elizabeth I in 1593.
She died around 1603 and is buried in the O'Malley family tomb on Clare Island.
========,4,Achill Mission.
One of Achill's most famous historical sites is that of the Achill Mission or 'the Colony' at Dugort.
In 1831 the Church of Ireland Reverend Edward Nangle founded a proselytising mission at Dugort.
The Mission included schools, cottages, an orphanage, an infirmary and a guesthouse.
The Colony was very successful for a time and regularly produced a newspaper called the "Achill Herald and Western Witness".
Nangle expanded his mission into Mweelin, where a school was built.
The Achill Mission began to decline slowly after Nangle was moved from Achill and was finally closed in the 1880s.
Nangle died in 1883.
========,4,Railway.
In 1894, the Westport - Newport railway line was extended to Achill Sound.
The train station is now a hostel.
The train provided a great service to Achill, but it also fulfilled an ancient prophecy.
Brian Rua O' Cearbhain had prophesied that 'carts on iron wheels' would carry bodies into Achill on their first and last journey.
In 1894, the first train on the Achill railway carried the bodies of victims of the Clew Bay Drowning.
This tragedy occurred when a boat overturned in Clew Bay, drowning thirty-two young people.
They had been going to meet the steamer which would take them to Scotland for potato picking.
========,5,Kirkintilloch Fire.
The Kirkintilloch Fire in 1937 fulfilled the second part of the prophecy when the bodies of ten victims were carried by rail to Achill.
These people had died in a fire in a bothy in Kirkintilloch.
This term referred to the temporary accommodation provided for those who went to Scotland to pick potatoes, a migratory pattern that had been established in the early nineteenth century.
========,4,Kildamhnait.
Kildamhnait on the south-east coast of Achill is named after St. Damhnait, or Dymphna, who founded a church there in the 16th century.
There is also a holy well just outside the graveyard.
The present church was built in the 1700s and the graveyard contains memorials to the victims of two of Achill's greatest tragedies, the Kirchintilloch Fire (1937) and the Clew Bay Drowning (1894).
========,4,The Monastery.
In 1852, Dr. John McHale, Archbishop of Tuam set aside land in Bunnacurry for the building of a monastery.
A Franciscan Monastery was built which, for many years provided an education for local children.
The ruins of this monastery are still to be seen in Bunnacurry today.
========,4,The Valley House.
The historic Valley House is located in The Valley, near Dugort in the north-east of Achill Island.
The present building sits on the site of a hunting lodge built by the Earl of Cavan in the 19th century.
Its notoriety arises from an incident in 1894 in which the then owner, an English landlady named Agnes McDonnell, was savagely beaten and the house set alight, allegedly by a local man, James Lynchehaun.
Lynchehaun had been employed by McDonnell as her land agent, but the two fell out and he was sacked and told to quit his accommodation on her estate.
A lengthy legal battle ensued, with Lynchehaun refusing to leave.
