Description

Large site for a substantial late 17th century/early 18th century house for the Wray family. Described by Walter Scott in 1814 as "a large good looking mansion with trees and a pretty vale sloping upwards from the sea." Overlooks Lough Foyle to the east. House substantially altered in recent years, now an hotel, golf course and entertainment centre.
