n/a	"Pinkman: Grianán = A sunny place. Grianán, may mean, according to O’Donovan (1) a beautiful sunny spot (2) a bower of a summer house, (3) a balcony or a gallery, (4) a Royal Palace. The word is used in the third and fourth senses in the old Irish historical tales and romances. But its literal meaning is a sunny spot – from grian, the sun – and no more than this is implied in two places of the name in Co. Leitrim "	Nóta Nóta eolais
