context_page_description: Árainn Mhór is an island off the west coast of County Donegal, Ireland. Arranmore is the largest inhabited island of County Donegal, with a population of 469 in 2016, down from 514 in 2011, 528 in 2006, 543 in 2002, and over 600 in 1996. The island is part of the Donegal Gaeltacht, with most of the inhabitants speaking Ulster Irish.
  It is also known in English as Arran Island. In Irish the island was traditionally called Árainn; the adjective mór was added fairly recently. It was also sometimes called in Irish Árainn Uí Dhomhnaill, meaning the 'Aran of the O'Donnells'.
context_section_description: The island is twinned with Beaver Island, an island in northern Lake Michigan where a large number of former residents gathered after being evicted from Arranmore in the mid-1800s.  There are still today a number of families on Beaver Island that trace their roots to Arranmore. A monument to the twinning has been placed in the islands main reservoir.
