Gartan (Template:Langx) is a civil parish and townland in County Donegal, Ireland.[1] The area is best known for being the birthplace of Columba, one of the three patron saints of Ireland and one of the most revered saints in the Christian world.[2] Here he founded a monastery in 521.[3] The popular song "Gartan Mother's Lullaby" comes from the area,[4] and has been performed by many artists, including American actress Meryl Streep.[5]
