After 32 years living in this beautiful county I am constantly reminded, "You're from Dublin?" The McGlynn family history can be traced back to about 1740 from records at Stranorlar and Glenfinn RC churches, a fact of which I am very proud. But I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm still regarded as a Dub and an outsider. Wellington and the horse? What a county! Beautiful! - Yours, etc.,
