In popular culture

• The Lough has a place in the history of Irish literature. This is because, in 1780, local poet and hedge school master Brian Merriman set the beginning of his mock-Aisling poem Cúirt An Mheán Oíche ("The Midnight Court") along the shores of Lough Graney. A stone which has been carved with the opening lines of the poem in Munster Irish now stands overlooking the site.[6]
