Dunsany Castle and the current Lord Dunsany
There is a new two-hour documentary titled Quintessentially Irish (2024) in which the current Lord Dunsany appears about a dozen times, discussing several things from his great grandfather to his own experience of watching a marriage scene in Braveheart being filmed by Mel Gibson at Dunsany Castle. He also discusses his re-wilding of part of the Dunsany land, and there are a number of interesting scenes showing both the inside and outside of Dunsany Castle. The documentary as a whole is much less interesting, framed by the self-aggrandizing reminiscences of a doddering Pierce Brosnan. It seems at most times to be a superficial advertisement for anything Irish.
