    Great that you had the castle and the abbey to yourself. My cousins in Southwest Scotland grew up with a (triangular) castle (with a moat around it) down the road, that I've been to twice, I love it so much, and the ruins of an abbey behind the house they grew up in, in a fantastic setting. So I share your fascination. I can never get enough of the stuff. And the brightly colored and imaginatively named Irish stores and restaurants put our standard issue American towns to shame. You had great things to film while in Ireland on your spur-of-the-moment trip, probably one of your most unexpectedly good explorations?
