Edit - photo used in the Wiki article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballymore_Castle -

The NIAH says Detached three-bay two-storey country house, built c.1810, facing north, having bowed entrance bay, two-bay side elevations, slightly recessed single-bay single-storey addition to east end, and multiple-bay two- and three-storey additions to rear elevation, built onto front of four-storey tower house of c.1585, and makes a passing reference to the "Seymour mausoleum" nearby.

Niall McAuley said:
On the record for the Mausoleum, it says The family mausoleum of the Seymours, who acquired Ballymore Castle and its lands around 1700 and remained there until the early twentieth century, so the Seymours probably owned the castle at the time of this pic.

There seems to be several Ballymore Castles. I don't think this is today's Galway one -

Census for 1901 shows a house belonging to a WG Seymour in the townland, but it is vacant.

Thinking Innisfallen. There are several other stereo pairs there, but I can't find a match for the boathouse. See the distant hills here - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000564217

Hmmm ...
There is a substantial "Boat House" marked on the 25" map, west of Ross Castle, on Ross Island. About here on the GoogleMapsSatellite which shows nothing - maps.app.goo.gl/kiLUkFwL4qNjBjQM7 -

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Thanks, fixed above. Nothing to see except trees and rocks. But if you twiddle round into 3D the shape of the hills is similar and the sun is in the right place when looking sout-west.

I wonder is that the now-lost boathouse just downriver from Lord Brandon's cottage?
Here's a Streetview from the western shore of the Upper Lake, looking west - note the distinctive 'bump' to the left of the cloud-covered mountains - it has a steep step at right and a uniform slope at left, just like the bump to the left of the taller mountains in our boathouse photo.

Less than 100m NW of the point where Peng Shi took that panoramic image in 2023 is the site of a boathouse which lies 290m SW of Lord Brandon's Cottage - the boathouse is shown on the Ordnance Survey 6" map (1st edition), but it's just marked as a Quay on the last edition. The boathouse seems to be about 18m long on the first edition map, so it could be the one in the photo.
