Killyleagh...where legends are born
There are few towns in Ireland with a history as rich as Killyleagh.
Situated on the shores of Strangford Lough, it is dominated by its picture postcard Castle that has been occupied by the Hamilton family for more than 400 years.
This broadcast quality DVD, narrated by UTV's Paul Clark, tells the remarkable story of a remarkable town.
Norman conquests, Scottish settlers, the Famine, Lobster fishing on Strangford Lough...it's all here as we recall the heroes from the past including Sir Hans Sloane (founder of the British Museum and inventor of milk chocolate), Rev Edward Hincks (decipherer of the ancient lanquages of the East), and Sir Henry Blackwood (a witness to Nelson's will at Trafalgar).
You will hear from Lt Col Denys Rowan-Hamilton on the Hamilton's and life in a castle, and see rare archive footage of the tanning process at Shrigley and the flax spinning that once made Killyleagh famous as a linen town.
And David Healy recalls his childhood days growing up in Killyleagh in an exclusive interview for this DVD.

DELAMONT MILLENIUM MEGALITH STONE, TALLEST in UK
The massive pinnacle of Delamont Megalith stone stands overlooking the scenic Strangford Lough in south Down near Downpatrick. It is the tallest modern Megalith in the British Isles! It is approximately 12 metres in height. 10 metres above ground.
It is 47 ton in weight. A single granite slab cut from a local quarry in the Mournes.
It stands in 3 metres deep concrete foundations.
After several years planning and preparation on the 26th June 1999 the stone was finally raised up into position by 1000 school teens from across the religious divide and from across the province. It took the various teams well over 2 hours to pull the stone into position.
The project was funded by a £250,000 lottery grant. The other half of the money was raised locally.
Information boards nearby provide an excellent account of thow this all was done.
'Alan in Belfast''s' blog is worth visiting in this respect.

Killyleagh - The Hans Sloane Trail
Killyleagh's noted physician, scientist and collector, botanist and chocolatier!
Hans Sloane was born in Killyleagh in 1660, was the youngest of seven sons born to Sarah Hickes and Alexander Sloan.
Only three sons reached adulthood and all three were to leave Killyleagh to pursue their careers; James in Parliament, William in commerce and Hans in medicine.
In 1687, Doctor Hans Sloane was given an opportunity that was to change his life forever. He was invited to accompany the new Governor of Jamaica, Christopher Monck, 2nd Duke of Albemarle, as his personal physician. By this stage in his career he was a skilled naturalist, so Sloane recorded everything he saw and, in particular, collected plants and animals, shells and rocks. His plant collection alone amounted to more than 800 specimens, and together with his animal specimens were to be the foundation of his great collections.
Local Historian, Deirdre Armstrong, takes us on a tour of Killyleagh and explores the life of this remarkable man, who during his varied carrier, also became the developer of drinking chocolate for medicinal purposes.
