Fix this textROSS CASTLE, one of Ireland’s best preserved fortresses, is situated
Fix this texton a wooded peninsula known as Ross Island, which extends
Fix this textinto Lough Leane, the largest of the Killarney lakes, in County
Fix this textKerry. Ross Castle has stood there since the 14lh century, and it
Fix this textfigured prominently in the Cromwellian wars. In 1652 it was
Fix this textdefended by Royalist forces under Lord Musketry against General
Fix this textLudlow, whose siege of the castle finally succeeded when he sent gun-
Fix this textboats up the nearby River Laune from Castlemaine Harbour. The
Fix this textsudden appearance of the boats on the lake persuaded the garrison
Fix this textto surrender. It was the last fortress in Ireland to be taken by'
Fix this textCromwell’s troops.
Fix this textAmong the owners of Ross Castle was O’Donoghue, an
Fix this textadventurous chieftain whose name is recorded in many landmarks
Fix this textand legends of the Killarney district. He was buried at nearby
Fix this textMuckross Abbey, which was founded bv Doha! MacCarthy and
Fix this textoccupied by Franciscans in 1448. The Abbey was raided by Eliza-
Fix this textbethan soldiery in 1589, and burned by General Ludlow’s troops in
Fix this text1652. Other chieftains buried there are MacCarthy and O’Sullivan.
Fix this textA stone spiral staircase leads to the top of the well-preserved
Fix this textkeep of Ross Castle which provides magnificent views of the Lakes of
Fix this textKillarney. Although three in number, they are really a single sheet
Fix this textof water divided into three portions by narrow tongues of land.
Fix this textIn addition to Lough Leane, which is five miles long, there is
Fix this textMuckross Lake and Upper Lake, the smallest and most beautiful of
Fix this textthese island-studded lakes. On the Island of Inn is fa lien are the
Fix this textruins of an abbey founded by St. Finian. It was there that the
Fix this textfamous historical work called the “Annals of Innisfallen” was
Fix this textcompiled in the 13th century, the only copy of which is preserved
Fix this textin Oxford’s Bodleian Library.
Fix this textFrom the green banks and glistening waters of the lakes rise
Fix this textthe Killarney Mountains, the highest of which are known as
Fix this textMacGillycuddy’s Reeks, where the last wolf in Ireland was killed in
Fix this textthe year 1700. According to tradition, the last snake in Ireland was
Fix this textdrowned by St. Patrick in Black Lough, near the Gap of Dunloe.
