  1. Story about Gailey Castle

    Share Share Post
    There was one time a lord living in the castle of Gailey and he was very hard on the people. At that time no person could go about the country without having a trade or profession. Many barbers went about the country shaving people for payment. The Lord had rash on his face and any barber who bleed his face was put to death. A good barber from Clooncraff went and was put to death. Then his brother went and first cut the heads off all the pimples then as the lord was sitting quietly he cut his throth from ear to ear then went home. his name was Brennan and the Lord's name was Delaney.
