Question: where is Loughmacask? Or to be more precise, where IN Kilkenny is Loughmacask? Don’t know about you but I never head of Loughmacask until a week ago when I picked up an Ordinance Survey map of Kilkenny. One of the first places that jumped out at me, metaphorically speaking, of course, was Loughmacask. LOUGHMACASK! Sounded more like a place in the wilds of Mayo or the backwaters of Fermanagh. But no, Loughmacask is in Kilkenny, or at least on the outskirts, because the map I picked up (bought actually because it was so informative) was a Kilkenny Street Map.
