Dunluce Castle

The Kitchen collapses at Dunluce Castle

This old picture shows the kitchen of Dunluce Castle collapsing into the sea during a storm. The part of the cliff-face that the kitchen was built on crumbled away, taking the kitchen and several of the staff into the waters below.

Augustus Earle's painting of Dunluce Castle

A painting of Dunluce Castle by the artist Augustus Earle (c. 1793 – c. 1838). I love how the goats are grazing freely on the hillside and the ships are passing more frequently than they do in the present day!

The full title of the piece may actually be "Dunluce Castle, county of Antrim, Ireland, near the Giant's Causeway".
