Killiney Martello Tower school visit

The French Festival of Boats took place in Dun Laoghaire last weekend and as the French Navy frigate left Dun Laoghaire, the cannon was fired from the Martello tower in Killiney - see the video http://photopol.com/martello/f​rench_salute.wmv. The historic tower has been lovingly restored over the last 10 years by its owner and DLTC English Language students were priviliged to be able to visit it earlier this summer. We're going to see if we can visit again next week.

Here's a web page about the tower: http://photopol.com/martello/no7.html
