One event that almost certainly did occur at the Rock of Doon violently marked the end of its ceremonial use by the Gaelic lords of Ireland. At the start of the 17th century the English had exerted their dominion over most of the ancient fiefdoms of the land. But when his English patron was replaced, he lost his special relationship with the crown.
