The Kings of Ailech belonged to the northern Uí Néill and took their name from the Grianán of Ailech (Irish: Grianán Ailigh), a hillfort on top of Greenan Mountain in modern County Donegal. The restored fort stands in a commanding position at the base of the Inishowen peninsula overlooking Lough Swilly to the west and Lough Foyle to the east.
