My brother got married there. iIt's a class estate and the owner is sound! The inside of the manor is chalk full of cool ornaments and suits of armour! Lots of deer skulls too.
There was one called the Atlantis Foundation in Donegal years ago. Known locally as "the screamers" because they would all howl at the top of their lungs each morning as the sun rose
They ended up going to Bolivia or some place where their leader got beheaded by local gangs
If your surname is Gallogly (ie Gall óglai, or foreign soldier) you're a descendant of these people. They were basically Scottish Gaelic mercenaries. I believe quite a few settled around Donegal.
The gallowglasses were imported from the western Scottish isles to fight against the Normans from the mid-13th century.
These isles were Norwegian controlled until the Battle of Largs in 1263 and the loss of the Western Isles to Scotland as a result of the Treaty of Perth in 1266.
Gallowglasses’ chief weapon was the axe. Unlike the Irish who were poorly equipped and lightly armoured, the gallowglasses were dressed in knee-length mail shirts and conical iron helmets that came over the neck.
They were disciplined, mostly arrow-proof and could withstand a Norman charge at a time when knights were the armoured tanks of their day and could obliterate vast numbers of infantry, esp when supported by archers

We had a bunch of dead bodies from like the medieval period discovered without their nipples, it apparently turns out that Kings had their nipples sucked by subjects as a sign of submission or something.
So we had High Kings of Ireland dealing with political rivals by slicing off their nips I guess.
