Yes, that makes sense. Perhaps Lord Rossmore was away that year and not inviting guests to shoot on the mountain. Thank you for that information.

Monaghan / Re: Lord Rossmore Hunting Lodge
« on: Monday 18 April 16 20:58 BST (UK) »Shooting to let there was described in 1897 as:
... Eshnalogh Mountain, situate about nine miles from Monaghan Railway Station and six from Smithboro'. Embraces about 1,000 acres, well stocked with Grouse. There is a Shooting Lodge on the Mountain (formerly occupied by Lord Rossmore), containing Dining-room, two Bedrooms, two Kitchens, and a Servants' Room.
Thank you for reply. Was this an advertisement in a paper? Strange that it's stated 'formerly occupied by Lord Rossmore' as I know he used it into the 1900's, the Duke of Connaught was a frequent guest during his period in Ireland as Commander-in-Chief of Ireland from 1900 to 1904.

Monaghan / Lord Rossmore Hunting Lodge

Looking for any information on Lord Rossmore's hunting lodge at Eshnaglogh possibly built late 1890's, a galvanised framework building which was dismantled and sold around 1940's. The Lodge was used during the grouse season and mentioned in Lord Rossmore's memoirs 'Things I Can Tell'. Researched this 20 years ago but looking for additional information.
Thank you.
Thank you.
