John Lowry, a descendant of the Rose-Clelands, of Rathgael House, near Bangor, County Down, has kindly sent me more photographs of Rathgael and its lake.

I visited Rathgael in 1922, and it's now being redeveloped as a very fine housing.

The lake is still there, and will be part of this new development.
The castellated twin towers guarded the entrance to the walled yard.
A cannon was strategically sited in the grounds.
