Castles of southern ireland

My name is William Martin and I'm of Irish family tree. My grandmother, Elizabeth Rafferty, was merely 14 years of age when she landed on Ellis Island together with her older sibling. My grandfather Joseph Martin had gotten here several years earlier in 1890. I grew up in a home extremely happy with its Irish heritage, amused with the legends and filled with the Celtic songs of Ireland. Really little has attracted me more about Ireland than its background of chaos and clan rivalries, its spiritual wars together with the mark they have actually left on individuals together with its landscape. It's no blarney, you will find numerous castles in Ireland for that reason we will restrict ourselves to just a few of the much more intriguing. Many site visitors come each and every year to visit the gardens, castle, and naturally, to kiss the popular Blarney Stone. Leep Castle is alleged to be haunted. Teige O'Carroll murdered his brother, a Catholic clergyman, at the altar of the castle church. Kilkenny Castle is one of one of the most spectacular in all of Ireland. Presently the castle and premises come from the people of Ireland and it is open to the public. I have actually just highlighted a few of the many castles existing throughout southerly Ireland.
