Lough Eske, Ballyliffin, Isle of Doagh

Statue pose on the Castle grounds. 

Lough Eske Castle Hotel, Donegal. 

Driving up the coast. Passing through Buncrana where slave trader turned abolitionist John Newton sought refuge as sailor and wrote Amazing Grace. 

Taking in the beautiful North Atlantic coast beside our car hire (aka rental car). 

The sun came out and we made a beeline for the famous Ballyliffin Golf Club. 

Rory McIlroy?

Played the Old Links course in an incredible setting, with the roar of the ocean beside. 

I was easily distracted by the amazing views!

Not sure what I did more of: took pictures or lost golf balls. 

One of my favorite holes of the day. 

Luck of the Irish. 

Enjoyed a delicious bowl of soup in the clubhouse. 

A place I've heard about for many years. 

The Village is decorated for a Christmas festival!

My cousin, Pat Dorherty. Resemblance?

Another Doagh Isle relative, Mary Margaret. 

A relaxing dinner after another full day.
