Manx Tholtan

 

Manx Tholtan

A tholtan is an old building which has become derelict . It could be a croft or farm building  and there are many on the island. I don't know a lot about this tholtan apart from it being a building on a deserted farm . All tholtans have a sense of atmosphere and this is no exception.

If you would like to see some more tholtans  please let me know. Enter a comment below or contact inkmann@manx.net

Pen and ink from Isle of Man,

 I  drew this pen and ink last year on the way to the Chasms, near Cregneash.

 Came back during TT week to find it has gone . Not sure of the circumstances but glad I was able to capture it before it went.

It is a great spot with amazing views towards the Calf of Man.

Does anyone know what it was used for?

Pen and ink of Slieau Whallian in St John's. This is the view from the old Douglas to Peel railway which has long gone and instead used by walkers and cyclists.

View towards Ballakelly Farm

Another Manx scene of a country road with farm buildings and the old Manx stone walls so unique to the island which I love so much

Bridge over the Lhen Trench

 Bridge over the Lhen Trench
The Lhen Trench in the northern part  of the Isle of Man. It passes under this bridge to the sea. This is such a fascinating spot. I've heard stories that the Vikings use to bring their boats up this narrow spot from the sea. 

Fishing boats in Peel Harbour

Another view of Peel Harbour. There's always something to see here - historic buildings, smallest car in the World, Kippers and Queenies to name a few.
