These two bronze sculptured Ravens are erected high above Ballafayle in memory of the late Sir Charles Kerruish (1917 – 2003). Sir Charles was a well known politician and former Speaker of the House of Keys.

What a beautiful and peaceful place this is to visit.

    • Hi Eleanor, I am pretty sure it’s where Sir Charles lived and used to go up there to sit.
