have known about this Castle since our family came to US. 200 years ago... the legends and stories continue to be passed down our family. nice to see it still stands Regal it is ! Michael T McQuillan
Once upon a time in Ireland stood a castle proud and free On the stormy coast of Antrim, high above the Irish Sea Lords and ladies gathered nightly in the great hall of the king Bread and meat and wine did flow, bards would play and poets sing MacDonnell was a chieftain bold who dwelled at Dunluce with his clan Safe from ships upon the ocean, and from raiders on the land There he ruled for many years, for Ulster was his wide domain Many tried to conquer him, and many men had died in vain Dunluce Castle fell to no man Sword or pike or cannonball Roving clans, or Spanish foemen Dunluce stood against them all When a fleet of Spanish raiders sailed across the raging main Sure a victory was at hand and glory for the King of Spain MacDonnell met them with full scorn, and loudly did the cannons roar The pride of Spain was turned away and banished from the Irish shore Dunluce Castle fell to no man Sword or pike or cannonball Roving clans, or Spanish foemen Dunluce stood against them all Then one night a storm came in, and angry did the north wind blow Walls of stone came crumbling down and fell into the sea below Fate was cruel as many souls were lost against the raging might Nature did what no man could on a dark and a stormy night Dunluce Castle fell to no man Sword or pike or cannonball Roving clans, or Spanish foemen Dunluce stood against them all Dunluce Castle fell to no man Sword or pike or cannonball Roving clans, or Spanish foemen Dunluce stood against them all
My playground as a youngster and few know of the amazing cave below. There was small well-hidden crawl-through entrance about halfway down the south side. The cave was large enough for boats to enter from the ocean side. There were legends that the Vikings sailed into the cave. I hear that the land entrance has been deliberately collapsed.
I was always told my Quillman family was German. So doing my genealogy and finding the name changed from Mc Quillin to Quillman along the way, and that I now am part Irish AND actually have a castle in the lineage, is just unbelievable. I loved the Irish Rovers song about the castle and am so proud of my irish heritage. My daughter has the red hair to go with it too! Thank you Irish Rovers, it's a pretty song.
@777cog I am as well my grandmother was a McQuillan Her father Henry arrived in new Zealand in1885. we still have family reunions every 25years.. This is wondreful footage of there headquarters.
ahh the Macquillan clan, i just did family research and found out about dunluce, the Macquillins did own this castle and im proud to be a strait decendant- chase quillin
@BandMadness ps .. my brother did family history .. he says we come from here, but that it got hard to trace past 1200's .. So happy to find this I can't watch it enough!! Hoping to go there someday too!!
@@cogniterra - I was surprised when my DNA came back strongly Nordic until I refined my research and found that the clan actually stems from a Norman mercenary who came to Ireland in 1175 when Strongbow tried to take the throne. Since Normans were directly descended from Rollo and the Vikings, it made sense. My younger son is named Rory, but I named him 26 years before I discovered that the last clan Chieftain was Rory McQuillen...genetic memory, maybe, but too far-fetched to be coincidence. First McQuillen to America, Teague McQuillen in 1635, was my mother's direct ancestor.
in reply to McDonaldGallowglass, did you know that the Lion on you coat of arms is there by a marriage to a Quillen. That red lion is the Quillen coat of arms. But since it tied to royalty the McDonalds put it in top position on their coat of arms. Not saying there is anything wrong with doing so I just think its a cool bit of history. So think Quillen when you see that lion, lol.
Quillan Quillin Quillen are all of the same descendent of the first Quillan which MacDonald is where we get our Mc so for instance McQuillin like mine McQuillan and yours McQuillen
It was the McDonnell's. That is just another spelling of the same name. Just like my last name is Quillen and not Quillan, McQuillin or any of the other variations. The McDonnell's, with the help of another family, were the ones that killed most of the McQuillens and stole the castle, when no one else could.
I'm confused about the pronunciation. With a c in there should it not be pronounced "dun look? Since gaelge has no k in it's alphabet, I thought all Cs were hard like a k.
The original family name of the clan is McConnell not McDonald it was changed by the prince who went into hiding form the English as he was captured many times but kept escaping so in the end they gave the prince a piece of land (dunluce castle) to stop him and he accepted and built a clan there the McDonalds but he still committed against the English and a law was passed that a McDonald could be hung in the street without trial if captured and so he changed the name to mcconnell and that law is forgotten about but still stands
Menni akarok Írországba! Látni azt a gyönyörűséget és hallani a zenét. Még az ír sztepptáncot is megtanulnám 55 évesen. Imádlak titekek!❤️✋

Nice castle you got there... It'd be a shame if *something* were to happen to it
Hello fellow McQuillan relative!
Once upon a time in Ireland stood a castle proud and free
On the stormy coast of Antrim, high above the Irish Sea
Lords and ladies gathered nightly in the great hall of the king
Bread and meat and wine did flow, bards would play and poets sing
MacDonnell was a chieftain bold who dwelled at Dunluce with his clan
Safe from ships upon the ocean, and from raiders on the land
There he ruled for many years, for Ulster was his wide domain
Many tried to conquer him, and many men had died in vain
Dunluce Castle fell to no man
Sword or pike or cannonball
Roving clans, or Spanish foemen
Dunluce stood against them all
When a fleet of Spanish raiders sailed across the raging main
Sure a victory was at hand and glory for the King of Spain
MacDonnell met them with full scorn, and loudly did the cannons roar
The pride of Spain was turned away and banished from the Irish shore
Dunluce Castle fell to no man
Sword or pike or cannonball
Roving clans, or Spanish foemen
Dunluce stood against them all
Then one night a storm came in, and angry did the north wind blow
Walls of stone came crumbling down and fell into the sea below
Fate was cruel as many souls were lost against the raging might
Nature did what no man could on a dark and a stormy night
Dunluce Castle fell to no man
Sword or pike or cannonball
Roving clans, or Spanish foemen
Dunluce stood against them all
Dunluce Castle fell to no man
Sword or pike or cannonball
Roving clans, or Spanish foemen
Dunluce stood against them all
I love this song now I know the lyrics by heart
H I'mpm

Watch out for the bullshit XD
I am a direct descendant of Rory McQuillen, Lord of the Route. They occupied Dun Luce from the 1100s to about 1525.

This castle was used by Led Zeppelin and Game of Thrones.
Why is like the entire mcquillen family in the comment section?
They're compensating for losing the castle to a half dozen drunk McDonalds
The McQuillans had it before the MacDonnells!
Wasn't the castle once owned by Winston Churchill?
+Soo Line Actually no, it was alway owned by John Mor MacDonald and his clan Clan MacDonnell of Antrim and the Clan MacDonald of Dunnyveg.
The original family name of the clan is McConnell not McDonald it was changed by the prince who went into hiding form the English as he was captured many times but kept escaping so in the end they gave the prince a piece of land (dunluce castle) to stop him and he accepted and built a clan there the McDonalds but he still committed against the English and a law was passed that a McDonald could be hung in the street without trial if captured and so he changed the name to mcconnell and that law is forgotten about but still stands
