I used to study here for my Leaving Cert and go and read aloud Elizabeth Gaskell's NORTH AND SOUTH and MARY BARTON to the English dead. They listened intently to every word I said. Some had already read them but then others hadn't read it all so were eager to catch up and hear the ending. Sheeps would often and often comment on the texts but always the same auld baaaaa remark. John Huston used a night time snowy dark of this in his film THE DEAD for the beautiful "...snow is falling all over Ireland" end sequence. CIE used to use it with the bus coming down the hill in its early 80's ads. So it's a place I always like to return to when I return to the Land of Ire!
