Skerries

Skerries (Irish; na Sceiri) comes from the norse (Viking) word Skere which has descended into Hiberno-English as Skerry meaning a small coastal island, a Skerries being a group of them.

Skerries has five islands off it’s coast, these are ; Shenick Island, St. Patrick’s (Church Island), C**t Island and Rockabill (which is two islands, the Rock and the Bill). There is also Red Island which despite it’s name is actually a tombolo.

Rockabill has the largest numbers of breeding Roseate Terns in Europe. It is also the furthest away from the town and has a lighthouse. On Shenick Island can be found a Martello tower, one of a number of defensive towers erected during the Napoleonic era along the Irish coast by the British.

Red Island also has a Martello tower.

Ardgillan Castle

Although referred to as a Castle, the residence at Ardgillan is a large country-styled house with castellated embellishments. Originally named “Prospect House”, the central section was built in 1738 by Robert Taylor, with the west and east wings added in the late 1800s.
Initially, the site was heavily wooded, the name Ardgillan being derived from the Irish “Ard Choill” meaning High Wood. It was cleared out by service soldiers and itinerant workers in return for one penny a day, sleeping accommodation and one meal.

The house consists of two storeys over a basement which extends out under the lawns on the southern side of the building. When occupied, the ground and first floors were the living accommodations while the west and east wings were servants’ quarters and estate offices. The basement comprised of the service floor, the kitchen and stores.
