Hop tu Naa

Posted on October 21, 2015October 21, 2015 by Peter Killey

Hop tu Naa – At Cooil Road in Douglas. Do you know the difference between Halloween and Hop Tu Naa? As the rest of the British Isles prepare to celebrate Halloween on 31 October, many Isle of Man residents will instead celebrate Hop tu Naa. Historically Hop tu Naa has been considered to be the Celtic New Year, marking the end of the summer and the beginning of winter. Hop tu Naa is celebrated with the carving of turnips for lanterns as opposed to the pumpkins that are commonly used for Halloween. Children will then go singing around the houses for hop tu Naa treats, this was once apples, bonnag and herring but as the years have gone by it’s now sweets and pennies. Children visit the houses in fancy dress costumes and with their spooky turnip lantern. A favourite song of choice and one you still regularly hear amongst the children is the famous ‘Ginnie the Witch’ which is a traditional Manx Gaelic song.

The Tholtans known as ‘The Terrace’ at Glen Rushen.

Posted on March 25, 2015April 25, 2015 by Peter Killey

Formerly miners cottages, when I was there today I counted 7 front door entrances but there could have possibly been an other one at an adjacent building!? The stepped back image of the tholtan with 3 upper windows appears to have been the home of a more senior mining employee.

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.

Above Ballafayle in Maughold lies this Quakers burial ground. The burial ground is alongside the narrow road through Ballajora, the plaque on the entrance to the site states that William Callow gave the piece of ground as a burial place for Quakers, and he was buried here in 1676. The inscription on his headstone reads; William Callow of Ballafayle 1629 – 1676 suffered long persecution frequent imprisonment and finally banishment from his native Island for his faith.
