The Speaking Horse of Cuilcagh is an animated story in which a magical horse guides a child through the legends of Cavan’s Cuilcagh Lakelands. Through the means of live storytelling and animation, the viewer, both young and old, become immersed in a timeless landscape that holds the secrets of a rich heritage.  .

Is scéal beoite é An Capall Cainte as Cuilceach, faoi chapall draíochta a threoraíonn leanbh trí fhinscéalta Thailte Locha Cuilceach i gContae an Chabháin. Tá an lucht féachana (óg nó aosta) tumtha i dtírdhreach gan am a chaomhnaíonn rúin oidhreacht shaibhir, trí dhraíocht na scéalaíochta beo agus na beochana.

Animation by Margaret McKenna Art.  

Launch of the animation on Culture Night 2025 to include storytelling by Cavan Yarnspinners, and talk on Cuilcagh’s unique ecology by Morag Donald.
