My wife and I spent 2 weeks in Ireland for our 25th anniversary. We were able to get the ferry boat captain to take us over to the castle in a small boat and I convinced him to to help us renew our wedding vows in the castle. Absolutely spiritual moment! A few years later our son and his girlfriend went to Ireland on vacation and he proposed at the castle.
Fantastic!
Congrats! It's a magical place if you get the right weather!
Greetings and Salutations Tim... I am Devin Patrick McDermott.... I shall walk those paths again... as you did. I cannot help but think of Ben Franklin's epitaph ..The Body of B. Franklin Printer; Like the Cover of an old Book, Its Contents torn out, And stript of its Lettering and Gilding, Lies here, Food for Worms. But the Work shall not be wholly lost: For it will, as he believ’d, appear once more, In a new & more perfect Edition, Corrected and Amended By the Author..... It truly is the never ending story ..books.google.com/books/about/The_Red_Lion.html?id=fvKKGQAACAAJ&source=kp_cover
you come from royalty never forget that , The o Connors are friends of ours
One of the many great things about Ireland is there's just no "security" anywhere--lovely people and everything's on the "honor system". You can just roll up to places that in the UK/Europe/USA would be fenced off, scary signs, security cams, limited hours of access... and ENJOY them in a simple and respectful way. I'm guessing this is a direct result of NOT having a colonial past, NOT having a slavery past, and remaining NEUTRAL in the affairs of other nations.
I'm a Proud McDermott I Love watching this
I now know my life's goal. I must make enough money to buy this castle, fix it up, and live in it. I will retore it to its glory.
Do it! :D
Can I come
Honestly I would do that too
Im part of the McDermot clan we're buying it once again and fixing it up and keeping it in our family. Thank you
@@grayelf27 can I be part of that clan? 😬
This is my ancestors castle ... thanks for such a nice video with compelling music. I'd love to visit and walk the grounds.
You would get a bit wet by the look of it.
Why don’t you own it? I thought they were passed down?
Me too!!
Louise Simard - I was in Roscommon in 1978 and hot air ballooning over these waters and the castle. I also visited with Lady O'Connor who had an archive of materials in which Andrew had written home to the O'Connor's and MacDermotts. I also visited with The MacDermott, the Prince of Coolavin and his wife Felicity. It was a magical and memorable time. Andrew MacDermott is my great, great grandfather and his daughter Jane by great grandmother.
That is so cool Louise! Thanks for sharing!
I'm in this video. Skip to 5.30..... I'm waving with both arms.
Famous at last.
yep..spoted you...fame
lol
@@flaggerify ...lmao...

That castle sure looks nice...
The music is great as well. What a treasure
Derrick McDermott here. The strongest decendent
I want know more about una bhain
Офигительно, спасибо
Great footage! Love Irish history. This video makes me want to go out there with a lownmower and power washer and clean that island up. lol
Good looking video, thank you for sharing
Amazing!!
nice video hello from birimingham Alabama
Really cool! Thank you for sharing that.
Thank you for this. Loved it.
so cool. Ireland really is a magical place.
Gorgeous!!!
Lovely scenery 🙏 thank you
Have a nice day
My great grandma was a McDermott born in Roscommon but she was poor and definitely had nothing to do with this castle
Nice, im glad you went over the castle. Nice video
stunning
very nice castle in the middle of the lake !
Спасибо за путешествие, это великолепные кадры, очень интересно!
Thanks Natali, I’m glad you liked it!
a beautiful and sad video, the castle deserved to be restored
it's a fake castle
I wouldn’t describe it as “fake” exactly. There have been a number of different castles and keeps on the island over the centuries. The current structure dates from c1800 and was built in a romanticist style. It was lived in as a summer house until it was destroyed in a fire in the 1940’s. Reducing it to its current condition.
Genial! Great 🇲🇽
Thanks for the video!! Really fell in love with this castle and location! If I had the money (saw an artical it was for sale) I'd restore it to its former glory!! I also would like to know the title of the music accompaning this video and who did it? It adds to the "feeling" Are there any blueprints or drawings of this castle?
Glad you liked it Carl! The piece of music is "Oxygen Garden" by Chris Zabriskie. I've added the info in the description under "show more".
My family McDermott from roscommon wld love to see it
My great grandparents were married in Boyle August 1880 . Jacobus Mc Dermott to Margarita Blakeny from Frenchpark.
That’s as far as I got back,I visited the Church and saw where they had signed the book.
I love it and felt I was home.
Anyone from Boyle who knows any information Please reply.
my mums GG Grandfather was John Mcdermott married to Rossetta
Waving back :)
Bet there wasn't that much water around it when first built.. it's beautiful and mysterious.
Most likely was my guess for defensive purposes
It’s a lough.
Regards from Argentina
I was also fantasizing about fixing this up.
Very nice video Tagdh. Thank you for putting it up. Can people go on that island?
Glad you liked it J A. There is a marina by the lake shore. You can hire a rowing boat and row out to it. There are also guided boat tours of the lake. Google “LoughKey Forrest Park boat tours”.
Would you restore the floors old-school style, i.e. wooden planks, and live with all the *creaking and squeaking* or go with something modern and quiet such as lightweight concrete cast-in-place slabs (e.g. Hambro D500 or SpeedFloor)?... and the *roof* whatcha gonna do about that?... rain's gotta drain!
wow
To those with Romantic notions of restoring such a place to 21st Century habitability, your 1st Reality Check would be in-writing quotes from the local utilities on the cost to run *electricity and natural gas* lines out there. That's not a warm climate, and, just like this video, it's overcast much of the time, i.e. you're going to have a heck of a *heating bill* ;')
You party pooper! ;)
@@tadghsmith1457 Lulz... on the contrary, I don't want anyone to half-ass it, i.e. run out of money half-way through the enterprise... do it right, i.e. as a cozy Bed & Breakfast. ;')

Thanks Maxim!
According to my Heritage DNA my ancestors come from Roscommon, left during the famine. Interesting
Where do u live now
My dream home haha
Amazing to see... I didn't know this place was so close to Boyle... next time I go to visit my grandad in September I will have to drive from Tulsk and have a look
Ciaran McDermott .Its on Lough Key on the main Boyle to Carrick on Shannon road (N4)
Cheers Tone, I managed to get out there. Up the Ross bhoys
how does one pronounce your name? Kee ran... See ran?? I'm Devin.. McDermott
I see it's for sale at auction for €90,000 I would love to see it fully restored.
How much would it cost to restore something like that?
@@splodge9 millions its not your average fixer upper
@@luke07761 Probably around 8 to 10 million euro to do it right.
I will have to research this so as to be among the bidders; this is my ancestor's castle.
@@musingsandmore8630 ..Aye' Lad... I too wish to contribute... Devin Patrick McDermott.... Honor & Virtue ... so be it!
spooky
I see there's a honeymoon suite mattress out front @ 3:40
Nice moat!
- But seriously.... beautiful castle. My question is: Why are these priceless, irreplaceable structures allowed to decay into dust? I'm guessing white shame'offs.... Be proud of your heritage! Restore these beautiful structures......
- The people in the Caribbean figured out how to make cement floors between levels, and cement roofs... see this vid for details: Pouring The Concrete Roof Easy Step - Building A Country House
Who lived in that castle? Im amazed
The McDermott clan
My ancestors old castle 💟
Mine too, fam ❤
9gag brought me here
How much ?$
Thr castle was on sale a couple of years ago for around a million euro I believe.
My great grandfather is a McDermott. I wonder if I can lay claim to it.....lol
oi, I'm a McDermott by blood and name, I've got claim first
This reminds me of tintin castle
Invite me when you decide to live here
Lo vi en Instagram
Sad and scary
At was land some drone day long ago
You’re either a poet or a bot. I’m not sure which.
Bilo bi ljepše, da je snimano po sunčanom vremenu, a ne po oblačnom. 🙂
great footage. I would like to see it on a less gloomier day, tho
Thanks Colleen! I might return to it one day, though I do think the dim light adds an air of mystery to the place. Btw you wouldn’t happen to be related to the McDermotts who built the castle would you? ;)
Yes, quite right about the misty air. According to the clan, it's their castle.. I'm McDermott by marriage to Kevin William McDermott.. .The way I see it, we can move in there & be squatters and what are they gonna do? Bring my German Shepherd Debbie who won't let anybody on the property..... ha ha
Tadgh Smith love this! My family has traced history here. I want to check this out the next time I'm in Ireland.
Colleen Mcdermott my cousins are named Kevin and Colleen McDermott.
Also a Mcdermott

Royalty? Then why do I feel like a peasant 😆 🤣 jk ❤
If this castle was anywhere near America it would be COMPLETELY TRASHED. Absolutely no respect in this country anymore.
LOL... he'd be wise to shut up. If your net worth is way up, pay your freaking taxes
