LONEWOLF M.C.C
Antrim N.I.
A Wee Bit of History
Here in the 21st Century the Lonewolf Motorcycle Clubs was Founded by a group of local motorcycle enthusiasts.
We took the name from the Irish Wolfhound in the Legend that surrounds Antrim Castle.........
"Back in the 17th Century, Marion, wife of Hugh Clotworthy, often walked through the woods of the lough shore.
One day a wolf startled her.
She fainted and on recovering she saw the wolf was dead.
Lying beside her licking her hand was her defender - an Irish Wolfhound.
With gratitude the wolfhound was taken to the castle and cared for until one day it
mysteriously disappeared.
One stormy night the howling of a wolfhound was heard high over the wind, startling the wardens of the castle who quickly lit beacon fires only to see their enemies gathering below.
The hound had raised the alarm and at dawn the occupants of the castle saw standing on the highest turret a figure of the dog transformed into stone.
The legend is commemorated in a statue carved in 1612.......
