Ah! We used to call Convoy's Castle Boytons when we lived in Priestown, Convoy. Would love to go see it again if I had an invite. I'm an artist and Pianist and could offer my services somehow to attract tourists to the area. There's nothing like a bit of History in any area. I always had an attraction to big houses with it's history, real or imaginary. The imaginary is so inspiring to conjure up lifestyles, daily living and the influence the residents had on the community. I remember going to school in the late 60's early 70's when there was a fire in the castle. We could see the smoke from the school bus on the way to Raphoe. Thank you Gerry for sharing memories of the past. Mervyn Ewing
