  National Library of Ireland on The Commons There you are now. Connemara Loop maps.app.goo.gl/ayCHQ6QnXzuDkHXv8 I drove by there yesterday a bit better. Leenane Hotel maps.app.goo.gl/PufM65dkJEBph4xw6 The Leenane Hotel is just to the left.

• O Mac said:

  We have seen the hotel numerous times. .along with the MGWR's new touring omnibuses.

  I recognize that telegraph / telephone pole! Reverse-ish view - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000333180 But the pole is not in this earlier view -

• John Spooner said:

  Is this the wall? Among the invitations to contractors to tender in the Galway Express - Saturday 5 March 1887

  To build 8 breeches breaches of retaining and protection wall on the road from Clifden to Westport, between the barony meeting meering and Leenaun Hotel. Not to exceed £l2.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  John Spooner it sure could be! Good value, I am not sure you would get 8 suitable stones for £12 now. I wonder what "8 breeches" meant?

The prize? A sticky bun with extra toffee!!!

  my guess --Cape Clear island

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Wendy: I hope you are right!

• Mike Grimes said:

  Thinking the white rocks are chalk, I googled photos of "chalk cliffs Ireland". there are some in Portrush in Antrim of which the geology in the Alamy picture that appears near the top looks somewhat similar.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Mike Grimes Mike I hope you win the bun, but I need more evidence!

• O Mac said:

  Rathlin could be another possibility... It has cliffs with chalk outcrops. mvdirona.com/trips/britishisles2017/images/IMG_2931.web.jpg from mvdirona.com/2017/08/rathlin-island/

  The Kyles of Bute, a most beautiful part of Western Scotland. Best place to make for to tour the area is the town of Dunoon.
