[Page] 20[Additional quotation for Glasclune Castle:]
"There is an old Castle at Glasclune,
situated on the promontory of the steep bank of
a deep den. It appears from its situation to have
been a very strong hold, before the use of fire arms
was introduced into this country. As to when it
was built, and by whom, even tradition itself is silent."
