Mullaghduff is a townland in the north-west of County Donegal. It forms part of the greater Rosses region and is officially in the Gaeltacht, however, English is the predominantly spoken language today.
The name of the townland, Mullaghduff, is from the Irish An Mullach Dubh, which means 'The Black Hilltop'. Possibly this derives from the blackish soil which covers the nearby hills.
