Located in the province of Connacht, County Sligo <\/span>has a lovely shoreline and borders County Mayo, County Roscommon, and County Leitrim. Initially formed in 1585, County Sligo<\/b> did not come into effect until 1603. Its boundaries reflect the Ó Conchobhair Sligigh confederation of Lower Connacht (Irish: Íochtar Connacht) as it was, at the time, of the Elizabethan conquest. The Caves of Kesh, famous in Irish mythology, are in south <\/span>County Sligo<\/span><\/b>. The recently uncovered work of Marinus of Tyre and Ptolemy shows Sligo as the likely location of Nagnata, an important place of assembly in the Iron Age.<\/span> <\/span><\/span>",null],"lnksHoverSummaryImgURL":[null,"\/cdn\/webp\/i\/kb\/200w\/books2.webp?pos=floatRight","\/cdn\/webp\/i\/kb\/200w\/books.webp?pos=floatRight","\/cdn\/webp\/i\/kb\/200w\/scotland-med2.webp","\/cdn\/webp\/i\/kb\/200w\/Suffolk England.webp?pos=floatRight","","\/cdn\/webp\/i\/kb\/200w\/scotland-med2.webp?pos=floatRight","\/cdn\/webp\/i\/kb\/200w\/Somerset England.webp?pos=floatRight","\/cdn\/webp\/i\/kb\/200w\/island_of_ireland_sligo.webp?pos=floatRight",null],"mode":"f","s":"Geddis","sU":"GEDDES","oC":"SC","o":"Scottish","o2":null,"cOk":true,"c":"\/dpreview\/GEDDES\/SC\/Geddis\/family-crest-coat-of-arms.png","c2":"\/dpreview\/ANDERSON\/SC\/Anderson\/family-crest-coat-of-arms.png","v":"1","sections":["","SettlersUS","SettlersCA","SettlersAU","SettlersNZ","SettlersZA","SettlersWI","Settlers","ContemporaryNotable","ContemporaryNotables","HistoricEvents","RelatedStories","Motto","SuggestedReading","Citations",""]}
