The Red Hand of Ulster is synonymous with Ulster. It comes from the legend of Dermot and O'Neill and their race for Ulster. After a long horse race they reached a river. Dermot led. It had been agreed that the winner would be the one whose hand first touched Ulster. Dermot brought his horse into the river and began swimming to the other side. O'Neill stopped at the riverbank, cut off his right hand. It fell, drenched in blood. He then picked it up and threw it across the river. It touched the other side before Dermot's did. That is the origin of the Red Hand of Ulster.

The Castle and Round Tower were symbols of Ancient Celtic and Irish tradition in County Antrim.
