The mural of Edward Bruce on Francis Street
A direct descendant of Edward Bruce, the last High King of Ireland, Lord Charles Edward Bruce will officially unveil the 'Bruce Boulder' on Friday 13th of October at Faughart Graveyard.
This prestigious event is being hosted by the Faughart Community Group on behalf of The Ulster Scots Agency.
The boulder is one of just a few that The Ulster Scots have commissioned to commemorate important sites associated with Edward Bruce.
Dr. Alison Lennon will give a brief account of the significance of Edward Bruce's Irish campaign from 1315 to his death in The Battle of Faughart on October 14th, 1318 and a piper will also perform some Scottish laments as the attendees walk into the graveyard and as Lord Bruce officially unveils the ‘Bruce Boulder’.
There will be invited dignitaries from both sides of the border but all are welcome to witness this special occasion on the historical Hill of Faughart – Legend’s Viewing Point, Chair of Faughart Community Group Alan Mc Ardle said.
The Faughart Community Group said they look forward to seeing people at the unveiling at 11am on Friday 13th October and urge everyone to take a moment to appreciate the fantastic view sweeping from Dundalk across the bay to the Cooleys and the Mournes and back towards The Gap Of the North.
There is no doubt that it is one of the best viewing points in the NorthEast, Alan concluded.
