Bog of Allen, Kildare.
The Hill Of Allen is lit up from the tower on its summit to mark St Brigid’s Day eve. The Hill is the seat of the mythical warrior hunter Fionn MacCumhaill and the Fianna.

“The present owners, the American Irish Historical Society, acquired the mansion in 1939. Founded in 1897, the Society has used the mansion to house a massive library of 10,000 volumes (including the first printing of the Bible into the Irish language in 1685), a huge collection of vinyl records, and letters from the White House from Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was a member of the Society. Unique art and music events have been held in this home, often in conjunction with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and other neighboring cultural institutions.”
