"[Lough Derg] is one of the loneliest places on earth. Its boulder-strewn shores, thirteen miles in circumference, seem to have retained all their original wildness. On some of the southern hill-slopes in recent years, the afforestation authorities have planted several thousand larch, spruce and fir-trees, whose green spires are now showing above the nursing knee-high heather. But there is little other cultivation to be seen."
