An intriguing story about the disappearance of a house on Tory Island has been turned into a book.
‘The House That Disappeared on Tory Island’ tells the story of a house that was demolished to allow a better view from a local hotel on the island.
The house belonged to film maker Neville Presho, who was originally from Co Down, but who had emigrated to New Zealand in 1982.
When Mr Presho returned to visit his holiday home on Tory six years later, it was a pile of rubble.
There then ensued a court battle which would result in Mr Presho winning the case and being awarded €46,000.
Now a chance meeting with Mr Presho and reporter Anton McCabe has resulted in the book being published by Drumkeen Press.
The book will be launched at the Central Library in Letterkenny on November 22nd with Frank Galligan acting as MC for the evening.
