(7 images in this post) A few Isle of Man Tholtans from the Drone. First 4 images taken from the Staarvey Road, talking many years ago to nearby farmer (the late Donald Cannan), he can remember this property being occupied circa 1945 by a man named Killey who had the nickname of ‘Killey the Gull’. Last 3 images are of an unknown Tholtan at Upper Lhergydhoo which neighbours the previous property. Please let me know if you have any further info about these lovely old once loved homes.

Killabregga Tholtans
A lovely guided walk around Killabregga Tholtans this afternoon with Ballaugh Heritage Trust, this particular Tholtan was one of the two homes amongst all the barns and piggery and threshing house etc. The upright stones to the right of the image were thought to be peat drying stones, where the peat was hung over to dry out. Killabregga Farm was last farmed in the early 1960’s by the Kinrade family.
