Title
Mick McQuaid?s Castle, L. Shindillagh
Description
The photograph depicts a poorly constructed stone cabin with a thatched roof secured with ropes. A plank rests against the thatch at the right hand end of the building. A doorway is visible in the left hand end. The whole building is only a few metres from the shore of Lough Shindillagh. The mountain in the background is Corcog. The caption refers to a contemporary cartoon character - Mick McQuaid - whose exploits featured in a popular periodical called the Shamrock, from the 1860s to the early twentieth century.
