Castlecoote House
Long before its association with “celebrated Gunning Sisters,” the toast of 1750s London, Castlecoote was a place of some importance. In the early seventeenth century the mediaeval castle, possibly built by the McGerraghty family from Fuerty to guard a strategic crossing over the River Suck, became an important base for the soldier and administrator Sir Charles Coote, Vice President of Connaught, who improved and refortified the defences and renamed it Castle Coote. The castle withstood three attacks by the Confederate forces during the Rebellion of 1641 before its owner was killed fighting near Trim in County Meath.
