Comments
Alexander Campbell was born in 1788 at Ballymena, County Antrim, about a mile from Shane's Castle which is seated on the north shore of Lough Neagh, a very large lake in the center of Northern Ireland. Jane Corneigle Campbell, Alexander's mother, had grown up in this area. This photograph shows the massive structure of the Castle's north tower and remaining wall. The view is from the southwest grounds of the Castle looking northeast. The buildings were destroyed in a fire in 1815 and never rebuilt.
