cash for clothes and gold
I once read a book that mentioned selling clothes in bulk to a buyer but never saw one until we passed this sign in Ballybofey and this guy was bringing in bags of clothes. This business also buys gold.

matrimonial tree
The Matrimonial Tree
"The Matrimony Tree is based on an ancient Donegal tradition.
When a couple were engaged to be married, two types of tree were
planted side by side. When the lovers married, the trees were grafted
together and left to grow.The individual trees would have had their own distinctive characteristics,
but the merging of the two formed something beautiful and unique.
The Artist has used this symbolism to celebrate the unity and friendship between the twin towns of Stranorlar & Ballybofey. It is said that lovers who pass through the arch holding hands will love each other for ever!"
