Russborough House

and blipmeet with Soletrader

A great tour of this house filled with the art of Sir Alfred and Lady Beit. Our tour guide Joan walked a large group of visitors around the house relating its colourful history.

It’s known mostly for the great art heist masterminded by Eddie Gallagher and Rose Dugdale. Coincidentally an interesting documentary has been shown on Irish TV for the last 3 Tuesday nights (concluding episode tonight) on Rose Dugdale and it’s quite riveting.

(Well worth a look but not sure if RTE Player accessible outside Ireland).

The weather early on was bad but on journey home it was improving. I feel sorry for any foreign tourists to Ireland this week. I hope you guys packed a Mack.
