Castlegrange has been in the same family, the Mulroney’s since the early 17th-Century. In the annals of Castlegrange, the name Ardtermon carries a profound significance. It is a place of safety, a sanctuary nestled high above the ebb and flow of time. This ancient moniker has witnessed centuries of history, echoing the very essence of Castlegrange. Today, Castlegrange stands as a testament to the enduring power of heritage, where the echoes of the past resonate in every rustling leaf and rolling wave. In more recent times Castlegrange found itself intertwined with a prominent figure in Canadian history. Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney embarked on a quest to trace his roots, enlisting the expertise of the esteemed Irish Genealogical Company. Their meticulous research led to a revelation that would forge a powerful connection. Mulroney's ancestral records spoke of a farm perched in a high, safe haven overlooking the majestic Sligo Bay. Here, he discovered a piece of his family's legacy, a place that would become an intimate sanctuary for him.
