Lustymore Island

Lustymore Island (from Irish Loiste Mór 'big lodge') [1] is an island located in Lower Lough Erne, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.

Nearby is Boa Island whose Caldragh cemetery has a carved Janus-type figure. A second figure was brought to Caldragh in 1939 from Lustymore Island.[2]

In the early 20th century, Lady Hunt from Alberta, Canada, owned both Lustymore and Lustybeg islands. When her residence, Glenvar House, accidentally burned down, she moved to Germany.[3]
