By contrast, unionists see him as an Ulsterman defending the province from enemies to the south: in Belfast, for example, he is depicted in a mural on Highfield Drive, and was formerly depicted in a mural on the Newtownards Road, as a "defender of Ulster from Irish attacks", both murals based on the Sheppard sculpture. He is also depicted in murals in nationalist parts of the city and many nationalist areas of Northern Ireland. An example is the mural erected in 1996 on Lenadoon Avenue, West Belfast commemorating dead Provisional IRA men in the area which has a picture of Cú Chulainn in the centre.
