About
Rutland Island or Inishmacadurn (Irish: Inis Mhic an Doirn) is an island in County Donegal, Ireland. It is also an electoral and census reporting district covering the island, surrounding islands and part of the mainland. It lies between the village of Burtonport and Arranmore Island. Anglo-Irish politician William Burton Conyngham founded a fishing village on the island in the 1780s, re-naming it in honour of the British chief governor, Charles Manners, 4th Duke of Rutland. This largely fell into ruin soon after.
