Lough Eske, County Donegal Ireland. Back To Its’ Former Splendour! The Gate Lodge, or “Wee Kate’s” at Lough Eske is a much admired and photographed former gate lodge to Lough Eske Castle. It sits at the water's edge with stunning views over the lake to the Blue Stack Mountains. It was built as a fishing lodge for the guide and his family back in 1852 as part of the Castle Estate. It has recently been painstakingly restored and transformed into this hideaway by the present owner who took great care to retain all the origianl features. It was a damp, cold morning and just before sunrise the dark clouds exploded with whisps of pink. Always, the best part of the day!
Lough Finn, Fintown, County Donegal, Ireland. Winter Wonderland. Lough Finn is approximately 5km long and almost a kilometer wide and sits below the mountains of Aghla and Screig. An Mhuc Dhubh, the Fintown Railway, and Donegal's only operational narrow gauge railway, runs along the length of the lake. The lakeside setting was described by the late Brian Friel as being ‘as scenic a stretch of railway as anything to be found in Switzerland or Minnesota’.

Glen, County Donegal, Ireland."The Old Homestead" Lough Salt And Surrounding Area. On a recent walk along a quiet old road, amid the wilds of a lonesome landscape, and rounding a corner I found this old homestead hidden away behind trees on the side of a hill. The scenery is breathtaking. Beyond in the distance is snowcapped Muckish mountain, one of the Derryveagh mountain range. Now just some stone walls capturing a very important part of our history that would otherwise be forgotten. It’s a poignant reminder, like walking back in time, that life can be lived at an altogether different pace to the one we hurtle along at nowadays.
