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. The photographed diagram narrates the history of the site and shows the ruins and the former extent of the buildings before the castle was destroyed by fire in 1815.
