    Super image Agnes! The historical detail is fabulous

  • Agnes McGuinness replied

    Thank you very much, David. It was quite a gritty looking image to begin with, so I enjoyed playing about with it. It’s a very interesting history. The O’Doherty’s and all variations of that surname are still one of the main surnames around here. Agnes xx
