“There is a hill in Ratskeagh caled Tustla. At one time there was an old castle on this hill where a king called Tustla lived.”
There is a hill in Rathskeagh called Tustla. At one time there was an old castle on this hill where a king called Tustla lived.(See story told by Kitty Martyn on October 25th '38)Her grandfather William O'Loughlin, who is still alive, has composed the following poem about Tusthla:-
Your buildings and your monuments, you laud them very high,One would think by your laudations that they came right down from the sky,Old Fustha the king of hills from its top you have a view,Of half the lordly Shannon and the Culka mountains too.- Collector
