Favorite thing: When I arrived to the Square, I came from Church Street and this Statue was straight on the left corner of the Square.
At first I thought it is one of those street entertainers, what you can see in bigger cities streets.
Then I thought that , no way - here in Cahir
Fondest memory: Take a closer look - it is a real statue, for the memory of Edward Keating Hyland, born in Cahir 1780, famous for composing Fox Chase. Blind pipemaster and noted by King George IV.
Heres an alternate version of Fox Chase it still gives a idea of it:

Favorite thing: This fountain was erected in the middle of the square by Lady Margaret Butler-Charteris ( remember that the Butlers were the castle owner and city grew around it ). She let it build to memory of her late husband. But in addition it improved a lot a citizens supply of water.
Fondest memory: Just the middle of the square in the shadow of the trees.

Cahir - where the celebrity actors visit
I had a problem finding Cahir from VT but it turned out it can be spelled two ways. Caher or Cahir. I'd say Cahir is more common, because I have never heard of Caher. I had really nice day at Cahir....
Apart from being a nice little village where you can stop off for lunch, Cahir is known for its Castle. Check out my Cahir pages for more info!
