If you had any questions as to how the views from the shore beside Ross Castle are, then this photo should answer them. Looking over both Ross Bay and Ross Islands brings the eye to a collection of outliers from the ridge that is Macgillycuddy's Reeks, separated from the Reeks by the esteemed Gap of Dunloe in fact. Though the mists, Shehy Mountain and near neighbour Tomies Mountain make up the bulk of what is seen. Even so, I cannot discount the chances of seeing Purple Mountain or the Reeks themselves either.
