Everything about Scotshouse totally explained
Scotshouse is a small agricultural village about 7 kilometres (5 miles) away from the border town of
Clones, in
County Monaghan,
Republic of Ireland. It is close to the border with both
County Cavan and
County Fermanagh. Cavan town is eleven miles away and Monaghan town seventeen miles away.
The village derives its name from an English soldier named Willie Scot in
Cromwell's army who settled in the area in the early seventeenth century. He sold hardware products locally. He used his home base to sell his products with many locals calling to the house, and when asked where they were going they'd invariably reply “Scot's house”. This house was located in the
townland of Aghnahola and was situated behind the current
Church of Ireland parochial house.
South of Scotshouse lies the Black Pig Dyke or the Worm Ditch which was the old
Ulster boundary. Many a battle took place in the area in bygone days and the area would have a bloody history.
Scotshouse is a small village of approximately forty-five houses. Since 2005, around seventy-five houses have been built in the same townland where Willie Scot resided.
Scotshouse has produced some very gifted people through the years and the most recent talented people to come from Scotshouse were the late Thomas Fitzpatrick, former chairman of the
Dáil, and the late Professor Seamus P. O'Mordha, Professor of Irish in St Patrick's Teaching Training College. There are also two up and coming gifted people namely Dr. Eamonn O'Ciardha lecturer in University of Ulster and graduate of Cambridge University and Dr. Eoghan O'Mordha, historian and archaeologist and a graduate of Oxford University.
