County Roscommon Tartan - History of Clan & Tartan | Scottish Kilt

County Roscommon is located in the province of Connacht.  It is named after the town of Roscommon which comes from the Irish ‘Ros’ meaning a wooded, gentle height, and ‘Comain’, the name of the founder, first abbot, and bishop of Roscommon. Rathcroghan (Rath Cruachan) near Tulsk, a complex of archaeological sites, the home of Queen Medb (Meadhbh, Maeve) was the seat of Kings of Connacht and then to the High Kings of Ireland.  This was the starting point for the ‘Tain Bo Cuailnge’, or Cattle Raid of Cooley, an epic tale in Irish mythology.
