Continuing the last week - site is playing up again with the photos!
On Tuesday we visited the porcelain factory at Belleek, some beautiful pieces both traditional and modern.
We continued our drive along the djores of Loughborough Erne into Enniskillen where we visited the Castle and museum. This is the home of the Enniskilling fusiliers and there was an extensive presentation of the history of the regiment. There were tableaux detailing the social and political history not ignoring the dispossession of the Gaelic families in the late 16th century and their lands granted to Presbyterian merchants from Scotland, followed by the eradication of the old Gaelic order and the Flight of the Earls' from Ireland to Spain and France in 1608! And of course, the lead up to the Battle of the Boyne.
