Seosamh Mac Grianna (1900/1901[a] – 11 June 1990) was a writer from County Donegal in Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. He was born into a family of poets and storytellers, which included his brothers Séamus Ó Grianna and Seán Bán Mac Grianna, in Rann na Feirste (Ranafast), a village in The Rosses in the west of County Donegal, at a time of linguistic and cultural change. Mac Grianna is the most high-profile modern writer in Ulster Irish.[1][2]
