The much indented coastal area known as the Rosses (Na Rosa, "The Headlands") in northwestern Donegal extends from Gweebarra Bay in the south to Inishfree Bay in the north - a tract of generally flat country of gray rocks, little loughs and tiny fields enclosed by drystone walls. It is a predominantly Irish-speaking area.
