In Celtic mythology, Lough Cullin was created when Fionn mac Cumhaill was hunting with his hounds; Cullin and Conn. They came across a wild boar. Finn and the hounds attempted to chase it. However, as the boar ran, water poured from its feet. The hounds ran ahead of Finn and eventually Conn was ahead of Cullin. Conn chased the boar for days until a lake appeared. The boar swam back to land but Conn was drowned. This happened again in the south to Cullin.[citation needed]

Lough Cullin (irlandais : Loch Cuilinn) est un lac du comté de Mayo, province du Connacht en Irlande. Comme son voisin immédiat au nord, Lough Conn, il est relié à l'océan Atlantique par la rivière Moy. C'est un lac peu profond avec des rochers émergents (dangereux pour la navigation) et quelques petites îles. Lough Cullin est renommé pour la pêche au saumon et à la truite. On y pêche également la perche, le brochet, l'anguille, la tanche, le gardon...[it] Lough Cullin
