Lough Foyle and the River Finn mark parts of its eastern boundary. On the other side of the Inishowen Peninsula is Lough Swilly, where Wolfe Tone was captured in October 1798. The bay of the same name almost separates it from the rest of the country, except for a narrow strip near the town of Ballyshannon and the road south to Sligo.  Until the sixteenth century it was called Tyrconnell, but it acquired its present name, meaning "fort of the foreigners," after the flight of the O'Donnell earl in 1607 and the subsequent arrival of Scottish planters. FTP, name this Ulster county, one of three in the Republic of Ireland, whose Mailin Head is the Emerald Isle's northernmost point.
