This is a fun initiative to get to know more about the key heritage sites in Roscommon.

Children are being encouraged to engage with key heritage sites throughout County Roscommon with the help of ''Rossie'' the Heritage Duck.

Rossie was the brainchild of artist Catherine Fanning and writer Maura Gilligan who were successful in a call out by Roscommon County Council for the Creative Roscommon Young Visitor Project.

A resource pack has been prepared as Rossie takes a tour of Roscommon Castle, Roscommon Abbey, Lough Key, Boyle Abbey, Elphin Windmill and Tulsk Abbey.

Heritage Officer Nollaig Feeney explains what's in the pack:
