Cloghane
An Clochán is a village and townland on the Dingle Peninsula of County Kerry, Ireland, at the foot of Mount Brandon. In 1974 the village was added to the Corca Dhuibhne Gaeltacht. It has a population of 297.
Cloghane and Brandon are jointly twinned with the village of Plozévet in Brittany.
The village is set at the foot of Mount Brandon, on the north of the Dingle Peninsula and overlooking Brandon Bay. The village is on the Wild Atlantic Way tourism trail.
An Clochán was the subject of a controversial and influential anthropological study by Nancy Scheper Hughes in the early 1970s, published as "Saints, Scholars and Schizophrenics: Mental Illness in Rural Ireland".
