Lough Bray house is said to have been built by a British Viceroy as a gift for a surgeon who saved his life. The La Touche family lived there, then the Guinnesses. It was visited by Oscar Wilde, and was subsequently inhabited by James Joyce's friend John McCormack, the great Irish opera singer who probably appreciated the extraordinary acoustic properties of the giant natural amphitheatre formed by the mountains which surround the lake. The property was then aquired by the Slazenger family. Robert Altman used the location as the set for his film Images starring Susannnah York in 1972. Michael O'Callaghan lived there in 1973-74 shortly after first conceiving the Global Vision project.
