Book on History of Achill

paulocon2

Just back from a week spent holidaying on Achill Island with the family and have completely fallen in love with the place.

We done some exploring when over there and am just wondering if anyone is aware of any decent resources as regards the history of the Island? Had a quick look on Amazon and couldn't find any books (bar one which appears to be out of print).

Excellent. Thanks very much for your help - loads there to keep me happy until the next time I get over to Achill!

Looks like I can buy some of them online too!
