Ruins of the old watch house built on the site of a smuggler’s cottage in County Sligo, used to keep watch for sailing ships. Jack B. Yeats featured it in his paintings.

I love these posts – such a fun way to get a glimpse of the countryside for this city girl. Dying to know, though, what did they smuggle?
Thanks, Emily! I have no idea what they smuggled. So romantic in a Victorian kind of way, isn’t it?
Congrats on being a finalist in the BAI 2012, Kristin. Well deserved! Great photo – haven’t you captured Sligo on a lovely day!
Thanks, Hester! I love Sligo – I would happily live out there if we weren’t tied to Dublin. Such a beautiful part of the country.
