We were touring a play around southern Ireland and performing for various theatre groups and stuff. Our play was about the fate of the Franklin Expedition (The really famous one) and one of the characters was James Ross. No connection to the actual castle, but we figured we should go there anyway. The stairs are extremely scary. I almost died going up and down them!!!! They are called triping stairs, those twisty ones. They are designed to the right handed persons advantage going up the stairs. Because if you are going up the stairs backwards fighting off your enemy, then you can hang on to the "railing" (a rope strung up the wall) With your left, and hold your sword with your right. So, the person coming up the stairs can't hang on because they need there right hand to fight. Also, the steps are very small and narrow, and uneven. And the passage gets more narrow as you go up.

It was beautiful-and the caretaker was kind enough to allow a small tour to descendants, even though it was the off season for tours. We have the same crest as that on the flag hanging in the banquet room!

(01/11/08) Name: Kilkenny castle Location: Kilkenny CO. Country: Ireland Review this castle Beginning as a motte castle of c.1171, built by Strongbow and destroyed presumably by the native Irish in 1174, the castle at this important early Norman town was begun again by William Marshal during his years in Ireland (1207-12). He laid down a trapezoidal-plan enclosure of stone walling with massive round towers on the corners (three of which survive in differing conditions, and measure 11.3 x 8.2 metres [37 x 27 ft] and 7 metres [23 ft] in diameter). The original enclosure walling was over 1.8 metres (6 ft) thick, and some of it survives on the north side. If there were other buildings of this early period they have not yet been clearly identified, although there exists a description of the castle given in 1307, which summarizes Kilkenny as it was in or about that date, namely, `in which are a hall, four towers, a chapel, a mote, and divers other houses'. A century or so after this description, the...See less

(01/11/08) Name: Blarney Location: Cork Country: Ireland Review this castle Blarney Castle was built in the fifteenth century as a stronghold for the McCarthys. It housed the famous Blarney Stone, which is supposed to endow the gift of eloquence on anyone who kisses it. Below the battlements on the southern wall of the castle is the Blarney Stone reputed to confer eloquence on those who kiss it; this feat can be achieved only by hanging head downward. �Blarney,� as an expression of dubiousness, is attributed to Elizabeth I of England, who used it when impugning the worth of Lord Blarney's promises. Photo provided by Elaine Blarney's tremendous rectangular great tower, one of the very biggest in Ireland. has an interesting building history. It was erected in two stages. First, in the early fifteenth century a small 6-metre (20ft) square turret rising to four stories and containing small rooms was built as part of some other building which has since been superseded.

(01/11/08) Name: Ballinacarriga Location: Cork Country: Ireland Review this castle Beal na Carraige - �The mouth or Passage of the Rock� Ballinacarriga castle lies just off the main road from Ballineen to Dunmanway, about halfway between these towns. From there a side road clearly signposted goes for about a mile and a half over Manch Bridge and the Bandon River to the castle. To the south there is a lake and from it a stream runs under a small bridge and the walls of the castle to join the Bandon River to the North. It provided a supply of water to the castle in the days of its glory. The castle is a four story tower, built on a rocky eminence with a good view in all directions, and overlooks Ballinacarriga lough (lake). It is unique for the number of important stone carvings it contains, mainly on what was the third floor, which is easily accessible by a circular stairway built into the thickness of the wall. These carvings are mostly of a religious nature. In one window arch, on the top floor,...See less

(01/11/08) Description | Cardiff Castle is an unusual blend of Roman fort, medieval castle and fanciful Victorian gothic mansion. The Romans established a fort on the site in the 1st century AD, but the square 8 acre fort that remains today was built in the 4th century. When the Normans built their castle in the late 11th century what remained of the Roman walls was buried under earth ramparts. The walls were revealed during excavations in 1889, and were rebuilt on the original foundations - clearly visible in places - between 1922 and 1925. The Norman motte had a stone shell keep added in the 12th century. Further reinforcements were added by the De Clare family in the 13th and early 14th centuries. The keep gained a gatehouse and fore-buildings linked by a massive ward wall to a new tower in the south - the Black Tower. The wall and the keep's fore-buildings were demolished by 'Capability' Brown in the 1770's during re-development of the site. The moat that surrounded the motte was also filled...See less
