The Highlander on the main Douglas to Peel Road at Greeba

Posted on by Peter Killey

I have always admired this lovely little property that stands at the foot of Greeba Mountain and which is also closely associated with the Buggane of St Trinian’s Church which is just down the road from this location (I will cover St Trinian’s Church on another post sometime). The Highlander which has been a Public House since the late 1800’s has now closed it’s doors in April 2012 for the last time. The image was captured on my Nikon S8200 Camera resized and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS6 Feel free to make any comments either on this website by clicking the “Write comment” below or by logging onto my Facebook Page enjoy.

Peel on a busy Sunday Afternoon

Posted on by Peter Killey

Standing on the footpath at the side of Peel Castle and looking over Fenella Beach towards a busy Peel Beach. The mountain centre left is Greeba Mountain and the hill to the right of the image is Slieau Whallian. The spire in the centre right of the image is St Germans Cathederal which is why Peel is classed as a City! The image was taken on my Nikon D80 SLR with a Nikon 18-135 F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX lens at 20mm and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Click on the image for a larger view!
