My husband wrote Legal Books,
Anti-Trust laws and Franchising.

Mrs Gerritsen and was impressed with her.

I had no idea she had written so many books.
This woman also has a Medical degree.

Castle Dunluce was originally built in 1500 by the McQuillans,
who came from Scotland in the 1200s as hired mercenaries
and built the castle around 200 years later.                  
McQuillans held the castle for about 55 years before
it was taken by the MacDonnells,
who came over from Islay in 1554. They still own the castle,
but now live in Glenarm.
Dunluce was taken by force from the McQuillans by
Sorley Boy McDonnell after the Battle of Orla in 1565.  
It’s said the McDonnells covered a bog with rushes
and stationed a few men on firm ground, fooling
the McQuillans into charging into the bog. Over
a 100-year period, the castle was besieged on numerous
occasions by the English.




The ruins of Menlo Castle sit on the banks on the River Corrib in Galway.
 The castle was built in this strategically important location 1569 by the Blake ..
The ruins of Killaspugbrone church lie at the most western
