Glion Kiark “Glen of the Grouse”

Posted on December 2, 2014December 6, 2014 by Peter Killey

The site of an old slate quarry workings at the foot of Sartfell Mountain, this old quarry is clearly visible when looking approximately South-East from the TT Course half-way up Barregarrow Hill. This quarry originally employed about twenty quarrymen, many of whom were Welsh, who came over to the Island following the closures of quarries in their homeland. It closed in about 1874 due to the poor quality of the slate and the buildings subsequently fell into disrepair. The ruins are those of the blacksmiths shop, stables, a pay office and accommodation for the men. The belfry at the end of building deceptively gives it the appearance of an old church. In fact, the bell which it once housed was used to signal the beginning and ending of the mens work shifts, which ran day and night. The old quarry…

Cronkdoo

Posted on November 20, 2014April 25, 2015 by Peter Killey

This lovely old, once loved building at Cronkdoo is set low in the valley near to Druidale and is now where the hill sheep from the area go inside for shelter. You can also make out the rusty corn mill cogs to the rear of the old building. Whenever I visit these old Tholtan type buildings I realise just how hard life must have been for these old Manx Crofters.

Manx Crosses and Slabs – Kirk Michael Church

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Peter Killey

I have to be honest and say that these old Manx Runic Stones and Crosses do fascinate me. This rather strange stone (No. 110) is displayed in Kirk Michael Church and is a broken shaft of a cross slab, which in 1669 was turned upside down, reshaped and carved with a skull and cross bones. It shows remains of the double twist and ring design. On one edge part of an inscription reads, A.B. cut (these) runes.

‘Lead me to the rock that is higher than I’

Posted on May 14, 2014May 18, 2014 by Peter Killey

High up in Bishopscourt Glen is a lovely small cave with a carved stone seat. This cave is thought to have been used by bishops for the purpose of rest and meditation. Bishop Murray reputedly took refuge here from angry locals at the time of the 1825 potato (tithe) riots. Nearby is a stone called “Creg Nyn Ushag” (Rock of the Bird) which is inscribed ‘Lead me to the rock that is higher than I’, probably dating from about 1880.

Posted on May 9, 2014May 11, 2014 by Peter Killey

I went into the graveyard have a look at the old grave of Bishop Wilson and got a bit carried away with my camera (as you do). This time I somehow managed to avoid the four sheep and one ram in the graveyard 🙂 Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Write comment” below or by logging onto my Facebook Page enjoy – Click on the image for a larger view.
