Kiltyclogher (Irish: Coillte Clochair, meaning stoney woods) is a small village in County Leitrim, Ireland. It is on the border with Fermanagh, however two of the connecting roads were destroyed by the British during the Troubles - these have since been re-opened, however the town was isolated during the Troubles, hence the small population.
Kiltyclogher (known locally as "Kilty") annually holds the Michael Shanley Traditional Music Weekend, in commemoration of the late Michael Shanley. It is also the birthplace of Seán Mac Diarmada, one of the leaders executed in 1916 by the British.
