There are a number of different every day ailments which we may suffer with which are not necessarily life-threatening but they can certainly be frustrating for those of us that have them. It is not necessary for us to go to a university in order to be able to solve them but we certainly do want to make sure that we have factual information before we try any kind of home remedy.

Many of these problems come in the form of skin conditions such as skin tags or warts. Although it is possible for us to get rid of these items at home, we need to make sure that we do so properly in order to avoid making the problem worse. A good example of this is using many of the home remedies for skin tags that may or may not cause an infection. The last thing that you would want to have happen is for you to be able to get rid of one of these problems on your own and then end up with another problem as a result.

It is often a better idea if you use the Internet in order to solve these problems in a totally different way. Instead of searching for a natural cure that may cause problems for you, why not search for a dermatologist in your area that will be able to take care of the problem for you? It might end up saving you a lot of frustration in the process.

“A man’s home is his castle…” so the saying affirms. Sadly in this case, it turns out that Kanturk Castle, Co. Cork, Ireland never became a place of living. However, what did get designed was and is magnificent. The main building is made up of four story, while each tower stands up to 5 story.

Now as you ramble around this great old building, it’s hard to believe that it was raised in about 1601. 4 centuries are over and it is still holding strong. ‘Bualadh bos’ to the stonemasons. (Bualadh bos is Irish/Gaelic for applause or praise) Legend says that sEven stonemasons all named John worked on the Castle. Hence at one time the Castle was called as “Carrig-na-Shane-Saor” i.e. The Rock of John the Mason.

There are several points of view on whom exactly the castle was constructed for. Some think it was MacDonogh MacCarthy, while others feel it was Dermot McOwen. Even the dating of the monument cannot be agreed upon. usually it is known to be late 16th century early 17th century.

Why was it that he never lived in it? Well, there is some more to that adage: ‘A man’s home is his castle …, yet that is, ‘until the Queen arrives’. The neighbors of Kanturk Castle were becoming a bit concerned about the hugeness of this building and to the reasons of its purpose. The Privy Council, which was like close advisors to the Queen of England at the time, was informed and ordered the work on the structure to stop. Thus, ‘A man’s home is his castle until the queen arrives’.

So disappointed the overlord was, it’s reported that he shattered the leaded glass and the tiles and flung them into the river.

Down through time after that the property changed ownership numerous times. Now it is managed by An Taisce - The National Trust for Ireland, since 14th July 2000.

Why not come and visit Kanturk Castle for yourself. As you stroll around think of being in the 15/1600s with the Mac Donagh McCarthy’s at Kanturk Castle.
