Tamney is a small village in the Fanad peninsula of County Donegal. It is sometimes written as 'Tawny' or 'Tawney' and in the Irish language it is known as An Tamhnaigh.[1] It was the only postal town of Fanad in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when its population was about 10,000: it is now around 2,000.
In 1904 Seumas MacManus wrote a one-act play ''The Townland of Tamney''.[2]
