Ballybeg


Ballybeg is an anglicisation of the Irish language term, Baile Beag, which means "Little Town". The Irish playwright Brian Friel has set many of his works, such as Philadelphia Here I Come!, Translations and Dancing at Lughnasa, in the fictional County Donegal town of Ballybeg. Friel's Ballybeg has often been compared to the village of Glenties, close to where he lived.

Ballybeg is also the name of many small townlands, towns and villages in Ireland, including:

Many other places called Ballybeg are distributed around Ireland, and in Serbia there is a Ballybeg Mosque, built under the orders of Bali-beg Malkočević around 1521 [1].
