On the road heading up to the “Sloc” and high up above Ballakilpheric is this lovely little memorial to “Tom the Dipper” the views from this idyllic position overlooking the South of the Island are absolutely magnificent on a fine day The stone plaque says “Site of the cottage built by Thomas Shimmin, poet and baptist preacher, aided by his wife Nell”. The image was captured on my Sony HX20V camera, resized and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS6.
