==Name== The name ''Lough Key'' comes from the Irish ''Loch Cé''. In [[Irish mythology]], Cé was the [[druid]] of the god [[Nuada]]. He was wounded in the [[Second Battle of Mag Tuired]] and fled southward until he came to [[Curlew Mountains|Carn Corrslebe]], where he rested. He saw ahead of him a beautiful plain full of flowers. He sought to reach it, and when he did, he died. When his grave was dug there, a [[Lake-burst|lake burst]] out of it, and flooded the whole plain. It was thus named Loch Cé after him.<ref>[[Lady Gregory]] ''[[Gods and Fighting Men]]'' [http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/gafm/gafm07.htm]</ref>
