Franklin got to see Lord Hillsborough's dessert doily Why is it called a Doily? as well as some of his family banners when he visited the Lord's family estate in Ireland for almost a week while vacationing in Ireland and Scotland in late August through November of 1771. They had run into one another in Dublin and Lord Hillsborough invited Ben Franklin to visit. Franklin was appalled by how England governed Ireland. Absentee landlords exploited Irish tenants and England put severe regulations on Irish trade. Franklin wrote of the Irish famers "They live in wretched hovels of mud and straw, are clothed in rags, and subsist chiefly on potatoes." Franklin visited his new found friend David Hume in Edinburgh, Scotland where he could catch up on juicy gossip about famous people they both had met.
