(2 images in this post) Loving these sculptures of Maurice, Barry and Robin Gibb, who were born on the Isle of Man, this image shows the Gibb Brothers in mid ‘Stayin Alive’ strut and these gorgeous bronze sculptures are placed for all to see on Loch Promenade in Douglas. The 7ft (2m) design has been created by Andrew Edwards, who previously made statues of The Beatles and Cilla Black in Liverpool. The base of the statue is in the shape of a record inscribed with lyrics from ‘Ellan Vannin’, a song the Brothers recorded to raise funds for a Manx charity back in 1997.

Glion Kiark “Glen of the Grouse”
(4 images in this post) Glion Kiark “Glen of the Grouse” This is the site of an old slate quarry workings at the foot of Sartfell Mountain, this building is clearly visible when looking approximately South-East from the TT Course half-way up Barregarrow Hill coming out of Kirk Michael. 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.
