Summary

Pathe synopsis: A coach and pair wheeling its way towards a towering castle. It’s a romantic opening to a twentieth-century idea by Dublin fashion houses who flaunt their latest creations in an age-old setting on Ireland’s rugged coast. The Emerald Isle has contrasts and fascination at every turn. The glass-blowing craftsmen at Waterford; carpets hand-knotted by methods that haven’t changed for over fifty years; tweed woven on ancient looms in the same Donegal countryside. The contrasts you see in an ornamental Japanese Garden at Kildare and an island of Italian splendour way out on the west coast once more. And we stay in this Atlantic outpost of the British Isles to sample a medieval feast at Bunratty Castle. Come along. You’re invited to live it up fifteenth-century style.
