In County Cavan of Ireland, Castle Saunderson is a castle close to Belturbet. Now in ruins, it served as the ancestral home of Saunderson family. The Finn River enters a tiny channel of Upper Lough Erne on the northeastern side of the Castle Saunderson Demesne. The little hamlet of Wattlebridge, located in the south-southeast of County Fermanagh, is approximately 0.5 miles west of the castle. Situated on the castle grounds, the Castle Saunderson International Scouting Centre is a Scouting Ireland institution that opened its doors in 2012. The center offers 34 acres of campground space in addition to interior accommodations. For the most of the year, it is accessible to both non-Scouts and Scouts alike. Together with the Cairo International Scout Center in Egypt and other locations, it serves as a World Scouting Center for the Boy Scouts. During the Plantation of Ulster, the Saunderson family acquired the original castle. The current castle was built in 1840 and was destroyed in fire in 1990 [Information and Image Credit : Castle_Saunderson, Wikipedia] [Wikipedia-Link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Saunderson ] [Image : Castle Saunderson ; Wikipedia-Image Author : C.A.
