Ballywillan Graveyard Portrush & James 11 Daughter's Grave
I'm up outside Portrush and have just come across old Ballywillan Church and Churchyard dating as far back as the 12th Century.
Ballywillan was once a place of some importance. The name means “The Town of the Mill”. The area of salt flats that lay between here and the sea was known as Magheramena, meaning the Plain of the Monks. Yes, there was an Abbey here too... Later this name was changed to Magherabuoy, meaning “The Yellow Plain” so called because of the large amounts of Rape that was grown here in the fields.
Ballywillan Church (Ballywillin) is one mile outside Portrush on the Ballywillan/ Magherabuoy Rd. The old church has no roof but the walls are intact. It’s not known who built the church. There is no definite date when it was built. It would have been the main Parish church for Ballywillan. In the early 17th Century came the reformation. The church would have been taken over by the Church of Ireland.
It would have been used until the 1840s, when a new church was built in nearby Portrush. Other churchgoers who came here would have been Presbyterian rather than C.o.I. Presbyterians would go on to build their own place of worship at Ballywillan Presbyterian church just along the road in 1829.
The oldest headstone in the graveyard marks the grave of a Royal Princess, the illegitimate daughter of James 2nd, King of England.
The story goes that King James 2nd was on his way in 1689 to the siege of Derry. He stopped off en-route for 3 days in Ballymoney. Whilst there he “took a shine”, to a local farmer’s daughter. This farmer thought he might gain favour from the King by offering his daughter for an evening. This he did. It later turned out that the farmer’s daughter was pregnant. King James, who had seven illegitimate children during his life, unsurprisingly denied having any relationship with the the farmer's daughter.
The child she bore was called Dorothea and was brought up into a Protestant Family. She later married a wealthy Coleraine Merchant called Ross and died early in life, only in her twenties. Local legend has it that she actually died giving birth.
Dorothea, daughter of James 2nd , is now buried right here in Ballywillan. Her headstone is said to have been erected by Queen Anne, her half sister. On the headstone is the Stuart Coat of Arms and a Fleur de Lys.
Another interesting grave with sea connections is that of Captain William Clarke who for a period of about 40 years commanding vessels around the British Islands and distinguished by many acts of heroism and humanity particularly the rescue of 64 persons from the wreck of the steamer “American” on the 24th January 1865. William points out that in the above inscription “British Islands” refers in fact to The West Indies.
BBC Breakfast @ Mill Strand
An edited upload of Mill Strand Integrated School pupils engaging in an early morning 'outdoor classroom' session with Tanya Gillen and Steph from BBC Big Breakfast.
It was a fantastic morning, sharing all that is special about the North Coast. In many ways, with Troggs & Alive Surf Schools, the local bathing club, Ramore Winebar & Babushka all contributing too it showcased Mill Strand Integrated as a school at the heart of the community with the community at its heart.
Becky Wearn from the BBC described the morning as probably her favourite/best outside broadcast ever!!!

Colonel Edward Hubbard @ Portrush Sea Cadets
Colonel Edward Hubbard U.S.A.F. [retired] speaking at the presentation of the Queens Jubilee Award for Voluntary Service to T.S. Duke of York, Portrush Sea Cadets in Portrush Town Hall on 11th April 2013.
ACHIEVEMENT: A STATE OF MIND.
On Wednesday 20th July 1966 while flying his 26th mission over North Vietnam, Hubbard and five colleagues were shot down by two surface to-air-missiles. After running through the jungle for a number of hours, he was captured by the Viet Cong and placed in a prisoner of war camp.There, he stayed in a six-by-six foot cell and lived on less than three hundred calories per day.After 2,240 days of being imprisoned, Hubbard was finally released on Sunday 4th March 1973.
The experience of over six-and-a-half years as a prisoner of war changed Hubbards outlook on life
When interviewed about being incarcerated, Hubbard said that nothing he had learned in the Air Force prepared him for such an experience but every day spent in a cell taught him that survival is possible, even in the most dire situations. In 1985 he became involved in public speaking, enabling many people worldwide to benefit from the lessons he had learned in captivity.
After retiring, Hubbard has dedicated himself to helping others overcome any obstacle, survive any ordeal and reach any goal by developing the right state of mind. His book- Escape from the Box: The Wonder of Human Potential was published in January 1994.
