Doreen McBride 
Tyrone Folk Tales 

Support
The people of Tyrone have the reputation for having 'open hearts and a desire to please' and their folk tales are as varied as their landscape. There are the tales of the amazing feats of the giant Finn Mc Cool and the derring-do of the Red Hand of Ulster as well as the dramatic story of Half-Hung Mac Naughton and the hilarious tale of Dixon from Dungannon and his meeting with royalty. All these stories and more are featured in this collection of tales which will take you on an oral tour across the country from the Sperrin Mountains in the west to the flat peatlands of the east.
