“Come to Leitrim – it could change your life!”

The words of the Leitrim-based writer, Michael Harding, in a new video which showcases the stunning, unspoiled beauty of Leitrim.

The creator of the video, Edwina Guckian of Dreoilín Productions, wanted to show that the county with a population of just 30,000 is a place not just to visit and enjoy, but also as an invigorating and vibrant place to live and work.

“We think Leitrim is a special place and it’s a place where visitors receive a warm welcome from the locals. The county is often overlooked but we just really wanted to show off its natural unspoiled beauty in this video. Now more than ever it’s a great place to live and work,” Guckian said.

The video features Leitrim musicians and writers Michael Harding, Eleanor Shanley, Seamus O’Rourke, and Eurovision winner, Charlie McGettigan, who each share their thoughts of what makes the county special.
