This is Dunluce, one of the most picturesque and romantic of Irish Castles. With evidence of settlement from the first millennium, the present castle ruins date mainly from the 16th and 17th centuries. It was inhabited by both the feuding McQuillan and MacDonnell clans. It is located on the edge of a basalt outcropping in County Antrim, and is accessible via a bridge connecting it to the mainland.

An old window perhaps, in the walls of this ancient castle here in Northern Ireland. There is quite a long drop beyond the wall to the jagged rocks below and so this fence is very much needed here. This is the same viewpoint that I took the ‘White Rocks of Portrush’ from. See PiP’s. Enjoy the weekend. Herb
