THE TENTH GLEN

The 'Tenth Glen' was written by Patrick McQuillan or 'Big Patrick' as he was affectionately known. He was born in Glenravel in 1881 and studied to become a teacher. He was principal of St.Patricks Primary School in Ballymoney from 1903 until 1948. He was passionate about all things 'Glenravel' and always kept up to date with all that was going on in the Glen. He was a prolific writer of poems, short stories and plays, several of which have featured on the radio and in various publications. The Tenth Glen is his best known poem and shows us his great love of Glenravel. Patrick died in 1963
