We spent the afternoon at the first Féile Grianán Áiligh at An Grianán of Aileach – a ringfort built by the Uí Néill in the sixth or seventh century.
There was falconry, battle re-enactments, music and demonstrations of hurdle making, blacksmithing and more – on a chilly, but sunny afternoon.

Kate shooting arrows

Watching the show

The view towards Lough Swilly

Smoke at the Smithy

The battle

Ready to attack (I think)

To the death

This giant Celtic warrior chased Kate

So Kate hid in the grass

A long eared owl

A barn owl
