Formally know as Scrabby, Gowna is a small parish on the Longford border. Like Lough Sheelin, Gowna is reputed to have come from a fairy well. The name Gowna is derived from the Irish word for a calf (Gamhna). In the 500s, a monastery was established on Inchmore Island in Lough Gowna. The monastery was raided by the Vikings in 804. In the medieval period, Gowna was part of the territory of the Mc Kiernan’s. In 1384 Ualgary O’Rourke, heir to the chieftanship of West Brefnie (modern Co. Leitrim), was drowned in Lough Gowna.
