The buildings in the background across Upper Macnean Lough are those of the open prison at Loughan House in the Irish Republic. Its proximity to the Border adds to the workload of the PSNI as escapees sometimes mistakenly think that they only have to get over the Border and everything will be hunky-dory. http://www.impartialreporter.com/news/roundup/articles/2012/04/26/396506-psni-capture-escaped-prisoner-near-beauty-spot/
