Peel Castle from a slightly different perspective.
Love the red sandstone throughout the Castle and Peel has lots of buildings built with sandstone.

The Pagan Lady
These two images were taken recently in the Manx Museum Viking Gallery.
Excavations in Peel Castle in 1982/87 revealed an extensive graveyard. The most spectacular finds were the 10th century grave of “The Pagan Lady” which included a fine example of a Viking necklace of which there is 71 differently coloured beads.
The replicate of the original beads can be seen on the Pagan Lady in both of my images.

The largest replica Viking longship ever built is seen here arriving in Peel today. The Dragon Harald Fairhair, hand-built in Norway over a period of two years will spend one night moored on Peel Quayside.
The longship’s length (57ft/35m) is about half the size of a football pitch and it has 25 pairs of oars.
The longship was named after Harald Fairhair, the king who unified Norway.
