Dunluce Castle is located dramatically close to a headland that plunges straight into the sea, along the North Antrim coast in Northern Ireland, and was the headquarters of the MacDonnell Clan. There is archaeological evidence of a village that surrounded the castle which was destroyed by fire in 1641. The site was also witness to the sinking of a colony ship that broke up on the rocks off Islay in 1857 with the loss of 240 lives.
