Picture of 3 Castle Designs

Left - Blarney (PLCCAS1) Centre - Carrickfergus (PLCCAS2) Right - Bunratty (PLCCAS3)

3 Designs, featuring Blarney, Carrickfergus and Bunratty castle, all of which are open to the public. The designs incorporate mostly whole stitches with some outline backstitch and only a few fractional stitches. About 6 evenings for experienced stitchers, longer for beginners. Displayed here in 5" x 7" (126mm x 178mm) photo frames.

  • Blarney Castle in Co. Cork, just outside Cork city, is the site of the Famous Blarney Stone, kissed by many and said to impart "the gift of the gab"!

  • Carrickfergus Castle may be the best preserved Norman Castle in the World, dating from the 12th Century. William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, lived both in Carrickfergus town, and Bunratty Castle! Carrickfergus sits at the entrance to Belfast Lough in Co. Antrim, the starting point for the Antrim Coast road leading to the Giant's Causeway.
  • Bunratty Castle was still lived in at the beginning of this century. The castle is just off the main Limerick - Shannon road. A visit to this now-restored castle and the accompanying folk park is a must. Also in the picture is traditional Irish pub Durty Nelly's.

Chart and colour pictorial reference supplied, P&P included in price.
