Only 15 miles away, I’ve never been. Thanks for sharing your experience. Weekend trip sorted.

[@TheJollyReiver]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@dinleyg]

Can't wait for the next "eerie story" you have planned for us. Great work as always !

[@TheJollyReiver]

Thank you!

[@frankb821]

A very sad, yet fascinating story, well told.

[@TheJollyReiver]

Thank you :-)

This one made me cry .. the thought of all those innocent Scottish families .. dying such a horrible death .. is unforgettable .. No one deserves such a death .. there is no doubt in my mind at all after watching this .. that this castle and it's grounds are indeed haunted .. how could it not be so? How could those men have done this? Another of those horrible happenings that mar history .. This must have been so difficult for you .. walking there where this tragedy occurred.. If someday I have the opportunity to go there .. I would offer many prayers for those poor people who died that day .. Thank you for telling their sad story .. your telling of it moved me deeply🖤⚘ Jen999💜💙

Killings of Catholics also took place, including the murder of two dozen at Islandmagee by members of the Carrickfergus garrison in November 1641. The arrival of a Covenanter army in Ulster in April 1642 led to further such atrocities, William Lecky, a 19th-century historian of the rebellion, concluding "it is far from clear on which side the balance of cruelty rests". The Scots executed Irish prisoners taken in a skirmish near Kilwarlin woods outside Dromore, while James Turner records that after retaking Newry, local Catholics were lined up on the banks of the Newry River and killed "without any legal process".On Rathlin Island, Scottish soldiers from Clan Campbell were encouraged by their commanding officer Sir Duncan Campbell to kill the local Catholic MacDonnells, who were related to the Campbells' enemies in Scotland, Clan MacDonald. They threw scores of MacDonnell women over cliffs to their deaths. The killings were brought under some degree of control by Owen Roe O'Neill, who in July 1642 was given command of Irish forces in Ulster and hanged several rebels for attacking civilians. Though still brutal, the war thereafter was fought according to the code of conduct both O'Neill and the Scottish commander Robert Monro had learned as professional soldiers in mainland Europe buy still, they raped their way around Ireland. They butched women. Catholic Irish women.

But...my guess is, you would have zero empathy for those, including my ancestors. Oh and, if it helps you cope, later on, Cromwell massacred a whole city of Irish men, women and children -Drogheda...look it up. It might rustle up a modicum of empathy. They even strung up little children. But...they weren't British children so...

[@Jen999]

@@stargazingdaydreamer often this happens when we are unaware of all the facts.. very moved I was by this story.. and as a student of history.. there are way too many instances of cruelty on ALL sides and by ALL peoples.. as to ancestry.. of Scottish and Irish descent I am.. and I bear no malice toward anyone.. only deep sadness that all cannot live together in peace.. every story has two sides.. as does every coin.. empathy is feeling deeply the emotions of others.. very sensitive am I to places as the castle in this story where these poor people died horrifically.. and I was deeply saddened.. and was expressing this in my comment..

Great stuff, keep up the good work 👏

[@jdanevan8554]

Great video. I remember one of my great Uncles telling me Tully when I was a cub. Did you see the Ghost house at Cooneen/Coonian when you over here in Fermanagh?

[@TheJollyReiver]

Thanks mate. I’m afraid I didn’t! Sadly I didn’t have much time in Fermanagh but I was aware of it when making my plans. I’ll have to go back one day!

[@owenshale8719]

Thank you for another great video looking forward to The new video

[@QueenB33-s3b]

Thanks for doing these! I recently discovered "The History Press", a book series featuring stories of one county. The counties span all of the UK. I think you got me started on them.

[@TheJollyReiver]

Yes some of those are great but some are dreadful. It’s luck of the draw really as they’re all by different authors.

[@jamesbart86]

Dear Jolly Reiver, Thanks for another great video, I really enjoy learning about all of these sights and the history behind them. As soon as I see that there is a new one from you, I automatically hit the 👍 button. Even before I hit the play button! Thank you very much, and safe travels to you! Sincerely, J. S. B.

[@TheJollyReiver]

Thanks James, I appreciate your continued support!

[@Vingul]

First!! ;-) great effort lately, J.R.

[@TheJollyReiver]

Thanks mate!

[@dazblue5515]

As you're in Ireland would have been great to see you collaborate with Eddie Lenihan

[@maccurtis730]

Reminds me of the Callicantzaro which roams free from another dimension from Christmas to January 6th I call them the Christmas Vampire.

[@GG-jw8pt]

I'm from Ireland, and have always pronounced 'leap' castle as leap as in jump, and rhymes with 'jeep'.

[@connorricketts1323]

[@TheJollyReiver]

Cheers fella

[@alanodonnell4788]

I plan to visit that Castle next year in the Summer Time. And I hope to find and see those Ghosts as well if I can? To know if they are truly real?

[@kathleenogrady8459]

"...you can see the Scottish influence in the design..." on screen is one arrow slit in a massive wall of a stone tower. I haven't laughed this hard in a month!

[@mjrchapin]

Very distressing. But we need to know this history.

[@owenshale8719]

Happy Halloween 👻🎃

[@brandyjean7015]

I wonder what ultimately happened to the Scottish villager's remains.

[@TheJollyReiver]

Indeed!

[@raydriver7300]

Very interesting and well told. Tonight I go to bed less stupid (it’s a French saying) 🌞

[@BonnieCassler-dx6sd]

The conflict over Ireland reminds me of the ones between the Europeans,and the Native Americans. This story is tragic,horrible,what we humans do to each other.

[@BonnieCassler-dx6sd]

Tower of London is my pick.

[@BonnieCassler-dx6sd]

That comment went to the wrong video My apologies.

[@Tullminator]

Tully's that exist today. Fight the atrocities that those in power try to commit today.

[@GravesRWFiA]

a well told story, a 2:54, is that the English flag flying over the fort?

[@TheJollyReiver]

Thank you! And indeed it is. That is Enniskillen, home of the Royal Inniskilling Fusileers (my great grandfathers regiment). They fought under that flag during the Williamite wars so it’s still displayed.

[@timelordvictorious]

think we where on the same tour Jolly revier

[@TheJollyReiver]

Oh?

[@Spaghettiest]

NOT JUST THE MEN, BUT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN TOO

[@maccurtis730]

Anakin Skywalker approves.

[@noreenclark2568]

Its always innocent ppl that pay the price for the lord of the Manor who has done foul deeds namely women & children 😢
