In his introduction the author tells us: "If only because of the great variety of its natural attractions, County Donegal will assuredly maintain an ever-increasing popularity with tourists and sportsmen. In the past it has been little frequented, and the reasons for this were not far to seek: they were inaccessibility and want of accommodation. The former objection is rapidly disappearing before the enterprise of the several railway companies and car owners who serve the district; the latter is no longer a cause of serious complaint, and each season sees a further improvement; so that now visitors can spend a holiday in the county with every confidence that they will be comfortable and otherwise satisfied."
