Last Sunday, as some you may have heard there was a horrible boat accident at The Crom Estate resulting in Robert being very badly burnt and airlifted to The Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

He is making a very slow recovery.

We are all very saddened and devastated by this news and our thoughts are with him, his wife Catherine and their children.

I spoke to Catherine earlier to convey my wife, Lady Erne’s and my support to them. She was being incredibly brave.

They have set up a fund raising page for people to donate if they wish to help the family in the very difficult coming months ahead. Robert will be unable to work for some considerable time.

I know they would be grateful for any support you might be able to offer.

With our thanks and a speedy recovery for Robert.

Lord and Lady Erne.

Dramatic skies over Crichton tower yesterday evening.

Crichton tower was built in 1847 on Gad Island as a viewing platform where spectators could watch the sailing on Lough Erne. The decision to build it may have been taken as early as 1839: a newspaper report on the second visit to Crom of the Viceroy, Lord Carlisle, states that ‘Crichton tower…was erected to commemorate the birth of Lord Erne’s eldest son’. The third Earl of Erne’s eldest son, John Henry, later the fourth Earl, was born on 16 October 1839.

The tower contains two stories surmounted by a corbel table with crenellated parapet and a projecting bartizan on the east side. The entrance is on the north side through a round-headed door opening leading into a room occupying the whole of the ground floor. This room is lit by three window openings, on the north-west, east and south sides. Each has a stone mullion and formerly contained metal casements with leaded lights. The walls of the room are covered with pebbles embedded into mortar giving the room a rustic effect and probably giving rise to the name ‘hermit’s tower’ by which this building was generally called in the last century.

Gad island is now mainly a haven for wildlife, providing a home to many swans and cormorants.
