For all intents and purposes I started my lighthouse quest with this one, partly because it was the nearest and also because my sponsor at the time was Salmara and they had a salmon farm there. I went out on their ship to take the original shots. Roancarrig features in the Neil Jordan movie 'Ondine' starring Colin Farrell, where some of the action takes place |
