Inish Saimer Island-is reputedly the landing place of the Partholanians, the first colonist of Ireland around 2700 B.C. Innis Saimer was occupied as an island citadel by the ancient Donegal chieftains, O'Muldorry, O'Donnell and O'Gallagher. After the defeat of a Connaught Irish army at Belleek in 1689, about 150 were captured when they fled to the island for safety
