Roscommon Postcards – Portrun.

There are only two Portrun postcards known. They were privately produced in a limited edition of about 200 cards, but Card 01 had an error "Roscommom" instead of "Roscommon". Fifty cards with the correct spelling (Card 2) were produced and sold. A good number of card 1 were also disposed of either by sale or given away.

Note Copyright rests with the individual photographer, (see notes below). Do not use without their permission. Portrun (also called Portrunny) is a beautiful scenic lakeside setting on Lough Ree. Why not make it your business to call next time you are in the area!

We are always on the look out for additional examples to add to our collection. If you have any postcards (used or unused) that you no longer need please contact us.

Enjoy the water or relax in the picnic area provided. Mooring available for all boat types. Nearby are the ruins of the historic 8th. Century St. Dermot's Church and at Gailey Bay the ruins of the 14th. Century Castle of the O'Kelly's. (Photo: Boat Rally 2004 by Mai Byrne).
