A view of the small harbour at Roundstone, Connemara, County Galway, in about 1960. Roundstone (in Irish, ‘Cloch na Rón’, meaning ‘seal’s rock’) was built in the 1820s by Alexander Nimmo (1783-1832), a Scottish civil engineer who had settled in the locality.
A view of a replica Irish Round Tower located in the Philippi area of the Flats region near Cape Town in South Africa. The tower (formally known as St. Patrick’s Shrine) was built on the slopes of Table Mountain which overlooks the city of Cape Town. The tower was constructed by Fr. James Kelly, an Irish Catholic missionary. The tower was a noted landmark in the Cape Flats district and acted as a focal point for annual St. Patrick’s Day’s festivities for Cape Town’s Irish community with the spire bedecked with national colours. The tower was demolished in 1978.
