Looking SSW in the direction of the maiden city. From this location many emigrants left Ireland in the hope of a better future in the "new world". Around the 1900s, one of the routes was by tender to Moville in County Donegal, to embark on a large vessel that would have crossed from Glasgow to sail to Ellis Island, New York.
