Burtonport, Ireland
Postmarked Falcarrach, dated 26 August 1972.
Burtonport, Co. Donegal: This fishing village is an important centre of the herring fishing in West Donegal.. In addition to its harbour which shelters the fleet, it has a curing station which gives much employment in the herring season. The coastline here is very broken and there are numerous islands off-shore. The largest of these is Aran, or Arranmore Island famous for its magnificent cliff scenery and marine caves. A motorboat may be hired at Burtonport for trips to the islands.
