Inverbrena 2005 Memories from the Strangford Area “For the olden memories fast are flying from us, Oh! That some kind hand would come And bind them in a garland e’re the present hardens And the past grows cold and dumb.” Anon. Inverbrena Local History Group Magazine 2005 Bobby Magee The name first appears in the Annals of the Four Masters as ‘Inver Brena’ – the mouth of the Bren river and identifies the narrow neck of water through which the tide rushes into Loch Cuan. 1
