Donegal Castle, seat of the O'Donnells
Donegal Castle, seat of the O'Donnells
Donegal Castle was built in 1474 by Aodh Rua O'Donnell, great-grandfather of Red Hugh. It was built of granite, limestone and sandstone. The mortar used was a mixture of sand, lime, horse hair and animal blood. The blood was supplied by the people of Tir Chonaill, who drew it from their livestock. In the C17, the castle was granted to Captain Basil Brooke, an English soldier, and he had it repaired and extended. The O'Donnell Tower, on the right, was fully restored and opened to visitors in 1966.
