Discover what a microscope revealed about the Blarney Stone, the journeys of Bunratty’s stained glass, Cahir’s surprising film-prop fireplace, Kilkenny’s £50 transfer, Trim’s twenty-sided keep and the legends of Lough Leane.
Follow Gaelic lords, Anglo-Norman builders, skilled craftspeople and later restorers through the castles’ changing lives.
The drawing studies use consistent construction, with new lines highlighted at each stage.
They teach architectural forms rather than measured replicas.
The main illustrations interpret recognisable surviving castles, with imagined historical activity.
The profiles distinguish documented history from folklore and later cultural associations.
Designed for adult colourers, history lovers and architectural sketchers.
Choose your own palette and enjoy the details at your own pace.
