The older generation of Guinnesses always pronounced it Loog á la. They were all absolutley demented though so I wouldn't bet on it being accurate.

It's actually pronounced "Loo-Gala"

I saw the guestbook for St Anne’s and it was poignant to see my ancestors (parents and children) as week guests in 1903. They appear later in photographs from Farmleigh in the 1930’s.

Is there any way to restore Dromore castle? Clearly it will take a boat load of cash.

I have just found your content and really enjoyed it. Have you covered Mountlong Castle where the Busteed family lived and Rossmangher (Castle Henry) the D'esterre family lived. These families were my ancestors homes. Many thanks.

Daughter is the great grandaughters of Marjorie Joyce. Her mother was Mary Farry Given up for adoption by Marjorie Joyce. The story is fascinating I know because I witnessed the reunion of mother and daughter. Francis Marjorie's only brother alive after Marjorie's left the Estate to Mary Farry. Who's son sold it to the new owners. There was a lot of skulduggery and unbelievable events. After the death of the Joyce's. I could write a best seller. Astonishing things happened but I know the truth 😢

So glad you came around to the phenomenon of "resident hermits". A subject worth deeper exploration. Always thought this a very interesting hobby of the wealthy British landowners and their appropriation of the Irish tradition of ascetism brought by Patrick. I always imagine a post-dinner party venturing out with their cognacs to the cave or cell to ask the hermit droll questions and then thinking they too should have a hermit at their country pile for the amusement of their guests.

I like this series, there is a rustic castle in Oatley Sydney, NSW thats been converted to a bbq area so if it’s a useful folly, is it no longer a folly?

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm so grateful to owners of these great houses for lovingly caring for them. This is my favorite architecture period in Ireland and The U.K. I've toured so many on my visits to Ireland, yet still am bewildered by their grandeur and beauty. Thank you so much for these history lessons on the Big Houses of Ireland.

You should do a 'book haul' Robert, basically go through your existing book collection (tantalisingly glimpsed behind you) and maybe pick out some highlights and recommended reads. Not a tangent either I think - if as I suspect the books are related to your channel's concerns to varying degrees.
@andrewcooney23872 жыл бұрын
You should continue with your work but show more detail of the houses and comment's on each dubbed over the visual beauty of the houses. This then becomes an important part of the history and visual record for future generations. Well done to you on this project.

Unfortunately the castle is not open to the people so it is not as interesting to visit and there for of less value for its existence, It is just a building of a distance and shows no potential at all.
