The Colin area encompasses a large stretch of the outskirts of Belfast and Lisburn, from Dumurry to Hannahstown, but focused on the areas of Twinbrook, Poleglass, Lagmore and Kilwee, over-looked by Colin Mountain.

The Colin area has a fascinating history, indeed, it has been said that the history of the area is a microcosm of the Belfast history of Ireland itself. From Celtic times, to the early development of Belfast, through Penal days, the United Irishmen, the rise of the Linen industry, medical legend Frank Pantridge, the Troubles and beyond – the Colin Heritage Trail has it all.
