Have just returned from a camping trip to Inistrahull two days ago (15th - 18th July 2010). The Island and it`s wildlife are absolutely spectacular. A beautiful place.
A great video, like Ralton, my Dad's family came from the Island, coming onshore after my Grandad was drowned at sea in 1917.
I reckon one of the old houses you feature is the family home. It's a beautiful place and we have a rarely found geocache there for people to find with a GPS.
Our Great-granfather was the lighthouse keeper on Inistrahull. In 1907 he (along with a crew of other brave men) were recognized by the Royal Life Saving Society) for their actions in 1907. Given my grandmother lived on Inistrahull as a young girl (as well as other members of our family), this video is very dear to our hearts and greatly appreciated...Thank you for your posting...especially the 'old lighthouse and school...Randy

Thank you for showing us this.
I always wondered what it looked like from close up.
