Hi there! My name is Malgorzata, I’m a lover of photography, nature, architecture, cultural events and this is my website. I`m from Poland but since 2014 I`ve lived in Carlow town, County Carlow, Ireland.

I created mycarlow blog on 18th of March 2014. It is blog about County Carlow and my trips to other Counties in Ireland. Since 24th of March 2018 I`ve posted in English.

CARLOW – THE DOLMEN COUNTY, OR THE MOUNT LEINSTER COUNTY

Ireland’s second smallest county gets its names from the Brownshill Dolmen the highest elevation in the county. It might also reasonably be called the Garden County, but that name was already taken (by Wicklow). People from Carlow are often referred to as Barrowsiders — referring to the river, and not the garden vehicle.
