Schull

Schull or Skull (/ˈskʌl/ SKUL; Irish:Scoil Mhuire or An Scoil) is a town in County Cork, Ireland. The name derives from a medieval monastic school, of which no trace remains.

The area, on the peninsula leading to Mizen Head, is popular with tourists, and there are numerous holiday homes along the adjoining coast. The village had a population of 693 in 2002. The town's secondary school has a planetarium and a sailing school. Each year Schull harbour hosts the Fastnet International Schools Regatta.
