For reasons of age and available time, my website has been vastly reduced in size – and the blog – alas, is no more. However, details of “Irish Follies and Whimsical Architecture”, and earlier books can still be found by clicking on the image below to be changed each weekend. Enjoy !
the round tower keeps its vigil,
beneath a grey, moving sky.
The Chaine memorial situated at the entrance to Larne Lough in County Antrim, Northern Ireland is a mock, round tower built in 1888. In 1896 the Commissioners of Irish Lights took over the tower and installed an oil powered navigational light to aid shipping around Hunter Rock, submerged about 5 miles offshore.
