With their chieftains inaugurated on the site of what is thought to have been a Druid temple, the Reillys are linked through colourful myth and legend to some of Ireland’s great heroic figures.

Born in Glasgow, Maggie Reilly is the Scottish singer famed for her collaboration in the early 1980s with the composer Mike Oldfield on what have become the classics, Moonlight Shadow and Family Man.
