Mucross Lake and Lough Leane, Killarney, 1858. 'Tour of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. His Excellency the Earl of Eglinton (says the "Munster News") is about to take advantage of this beautiful weather, and make a tour of some length through our unequalled island. He is to visit Killamcy and make acquaintance - we hope a familiar one - with its glories. He leaves Dublin on Wednesday next...[and] will proceed through Pallas to Killarney, and there, it may bo hoped, he will adopt for his sojourn the Lake Hotel, whence the finest and most fascinating views are beheld over the broad and bright lake along the enchanting peninsula of Mucross'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
