When my wife and I decided to downsize, and possibly leave Ireland for Scotland, Glentruim House was one of the small estates that we looked at. A lovely old mansion house, it sadly was a tad too gloomy and required more structural repair than we were really willing to commit to. The rooms were lovely, some with fine proportions, and the library was a true treasure. In keeping with tradition Katherine waited in the hall while I inspected the library and pronounced it "fit for pipe and bowl".

I know exactly how Old Glentruim must have felt when he left, as my own emotions ran high when leaving Holybrooke for America.
