Cruit Island (Irish: An Chruit[2] or Oileán na Cruite) is a small inhabited island in the Rosses district in the west of County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. It is linked to the mainland by a bridge.

Culture

Cruit Island has a strong musical heritage. Seán McBride (Irish: Seán Mac Giolla Bhride), a native of Cruit who spent most of his life both living in and working as a teacher in St. Johnston in East Donegal, wrote the Irish ballad The Homes of Donegal in 1955.[3][4] The song Thíos Cois na Trá Domh originates from the island and remains a popular song in the Donegal Gaeltacht to this day.[5]
