This island is higher and more rugged than its neighbour, Inishvickillane. Tomás Ó Criomhthain records in An t-Oileánach (The Islandman) how the well-known melody Port na bPúcaí magically came to one of the Daly family living on Inishnabro. This story in turn inspired Seamus Heaney's poem The Given Note. The island may well get its name from the remarkable rock arches near Cathedral Rocks / An Charraig Scoilte at the northern tip. The word bró or breo is used in several place-names to denote a remarkable fracture of the rocks or simply a cut or notch between hills, cf. Broemountain, Brow Head, Knocknabro. Inis na Bró is the 1436th highest place in Ireland. Inis na Bró is the second most southerly summit in the Dingle West area. It's also the third most westerly summit in Ireland.

A rare view of Inis na Brò

by wicklore 19 Nov 2011

I took advantage of the recent trip to An Tiaracht to take this photo of Inis na Brò from the air. The sea roiling and boiling around the base seems to be the standard for these Blasket Islands. The photo is a little smudgy as it was taken through the perspex window of the helicopter. It is taken from the south looking north, and the main Blasket Island of Croaghmore is visible further north at the top of the photo.

As can be seen from the photo, this is not an island that will be easily reached and climbed. But no doubt an intrepid band of MountainViewers will do it someday! Until then we can only look and wonder and dream.... Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1043/comment/6629/
