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
