Red Hugh was ”Principal of the great royal family, who ruled the Kingdom of Tir Conaill (Donegal) from 1200 until 1601. It was built on a bend on the Eske for defensive reasons, the river protecting it on two sides.”
The River Eske looking toward the center of town, The Bank Walk Trail is on the left.
The statue is down near a car park straight ahead where you can see a lone car. The boat ramp is for the tourist boats that cruise the river in the summer. The trees you see here on the right is where the Bank Walk Trail is which I showed you with the little fairy doors.
I never got a chance to photograph the statue, merely drove past it...

ReplyDeleteHe looks like the sort you don't want to pick a fight with. Looking at the inscription, one item stands out- they couldn't have come up with a better word than Scheme?
ReplyDeleteHandsome devil he is.
