Killed by the oppressive British forces July 18th, 1608. It's interesting to note the last name was also spelled O'Doherty. The O'Dochartaigh, O'Dogherty, O'Doherty and Daugherty Keep is located in Buncrana. Tim finally has been able to get home to his people.
Buncrana is on the Lough (Lake) Swilly northwest of Derry. It was about 1-1/2 hour drive from Dunkineely.
I would like to have grouped these pictures better but I am limited with my Kindle.
Anyhow, it was a great day. The first person we even talked to was a Doherty!
So far we have driven 1250 kilometers or 776.713 miles. I don't think I mentioned the car we rented is a VW Goff, automatic, diesel. Diesel is 1.339 (Euro) per litre or $5.75 gallon U.S. We rented the car through Enterprise at Shannon Airport and took all the insurance that was offered...including theft, tire and windshield. We had the option of using our credit card as insurance but in the end bit the bullet and decided to go with what was offered through them. I didn't want to have to hassle with the credit card company for reimbursement in case of a claim. Even with the insurance we took we still have a 250 Euro deductable per incident. The cost of this insurance was $1450.00. Having the car for 27 days added to the cost. It also included me as a driver. I don't think I can drive and hold my breath at the same time.
