"Lough Derg is dotted with forty-six small islands, some of them graced with shrubs and occasional rowans or ash, but the greater number are only bare rocks projecting out of the water. In addition to Station Island and Saints' Island, there are Friars', Bilberry, Ash, Allingham, Kelly's, Goat, Derg-More, Dearg-Beg, Eagle's Rock, Trough, Philip Boy, Gavelands, Stormy, Bull's Islands, and several other nameless oness, the resort of sea-gulls and water-fowl, whose cries are almost the only sounds that break the silence of this deserted region."
