Here is a nice photo that I have stumbled across of Clonmacnoise Monastery. As you can see the round tower was added to the Monastery most possible to protect the monks who once lived here. The round towers are common in Ireland and can be found dotted across the landscape.

A good friend emailed this photo of a cottage in County Donegal that I thought I would share.

Cottages are amazing wee homes and also make a great holiday home, prices can vary for different locations around Ireland

Although people have converted their cottage or upgrade the furnishings many still remain to it original design with the open fire hearth and outside toilet.
