I had first seen this video on the Save the Quiet Man Cottage on facebook. I was thrilled that you had shared it with us. Such magnificent work. Thank you for those of us who haven't been able to visit the site.
Kathleen Dempsey Thank you Katleen , and yes the first showing of the video on the social networks was indeed on the SAVE THE QUIET MAN COTTAGE facebook.com/groups/139441216076635/891267494227333/?notif_t=like Facebook page thanks to the videos owner Conor O Toole who very kindle gave our group the privilege .
Looks from this aerial view as though a lot of stone could be missing. The rubble around the house footprint looks light by comparison to what should be there. I hope I am wrong and I also hope the errant owner can be forced to sell the property to some one who cares to see it restored,
Just happened to watch this movie and so taken with the landscapes and the White O'Morn, I have put it in my "to do" list to visit, thank you so much for posting what a beautiful place made me quite emotional xx
+Pam Mann Thank you for your comment. It would be great to have the cottage restored as a tribute to Maureen O'Hara. I have the same footage with music by the Dublin Screen Orchestra at ua-cam.com/video/zg1KtLb5fpU/v-deo.html Also you can see the effort to restore the cottage at facebook.com/groups/139441216076635/
+Skycam Thank I will have a look, am very surprised to see over 10,000 followers we must all have a tot of Irish blood in us I think, wish I had the money to save her, xx Thank you again superb film x
Great aerial footage. Thanks for posting it. Seeing how much stone has been taken by souvenir hunters or has simply fallen is shocking. Even the stone wall as you approach the cottage is rubble. I was checking in to see how the reported plans for restoration, circa 2011 then 2014, had come along. It's unfortunate the owner allowed this to happen. Is it still an American, I believe from California, who owns the property? It's baffling someone would leave it like this despite all the reports of intentions to restore it. It's a place every fan of the movie holds in their minds just as it was.
I came across this 2018 article which provides an update about the restoration efforts. www.google.com/amp/s/www.irishcentral.com/culture/entertainment/restoration-of-quiet-man-cottage-to-begin-as-dispute-settled.amp
Gerald O'Hara : Do you mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara, that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth workin' for, worth fightin' for, worth dyin' for, because it's the only thing that lasts.
The original cottage does not exist, it is now just two basic ends, the walls and roof long gone, so if they tell you oh look this is it, well it is not.
Great job! Thank you so much for the contact. You can rest assured we will be promoting your fine work on the Maureen O'Hara Magazine Facebook page. Incredible panorama!

Heartbreaking, but beautiful. Thank you so much for this!

Why did they ever let that become a ruin with all the interest 'The Quiet Man' generates!!!

Whose house is next to White O'Morn's ruins? How long has that house been there?
The original cottage does not exist, it is now just two basic ends, the walls and roof long gone, so if they tell you oh look this is it, well it is not.
How
The sign has been removed from the gate the person who owns tool it off

June Beck Thank you June. I've uploaded the same video with music by the Dublin Screen Orchestra at ua-cam.com/video/zg1KtLb5fpU/v-deo.html
There is no sound of music nor any dialog.
I've uploaded this video again with music by The Dublin Screen Orchestra.
Check it out at ua-cam.com/video/zg1KtLb5fpU/v-deo.html
Pity there was no music, shame to see it like.😕
Jean Gill ua-cam.com/video/zg1KtLb5fpU/v-deo.html with music
Great footage!
Out of curiosity, what is written on the (gate?) sign at the end?
From what I can make out it says PLEASE REBUILD that's about all I can read
The sign reads "Please rebuild house" with a little heart in the corner.
