Visit to Doe Castle, Co. Donegal

Here are (to get you going) some lovely scenic pics from our trip to Doe Castle on Donegal’s north coast. It’s an amazing place, steeped in all the history of the flight of the earls. As you can see, it wasn’t the best of days, but sometimes I like it better like that, with the mountains looking all moody in the background! :-) Ian and I both independently used to go there as children on holiday, so we both love to visit now. For health and safety reasons (presumably) they have recently roped off the battlements, which as children we used to play on a lot (no doubt at great risk to life and limb!!). A shame.

When was this built?

Sorry, should have said, it’s 16th century. When I was a child, the main tower was a ruin, but they’ve recently put the roof back on and painted it, for some reason!
