The building at 9:02 is Kylemore Abbey, now a convent and one of Ireland's greatest tourist attractions. The architect was my great great grandfather James Franklin Fuller. I laughed out loud at the narrator's pronunciation of Youghall at 4:40 and then twice more further on. Most Americans think it rhymes with frugal but this one said: "Here in the ancient town of Young-hall ..."! It should be pronounced more like y'all.

Sadly a world as lost as ancient Egypt.
