| ROSS CASTLE, KILLARNEY.- The castle pictured in the sketch is built on an island, or rather peninsula, of the same name in the Lower Lake of Killarney, now the property of the EArl of Kenmore, and isone of the best preserved ruins of its type in the ancient "Kingdom of Kerry." It was founded by one of the warlike O'Donoghues of the Lakes in the Fifteenth century, and , like all Irish castles of the olden time, has stood considerable battering from hostile cannon, domestic and foreign. |
