Abandoned buildings beginning to disappear
The author of three volumes on Manx Tholtans says people need to see these pieces of history before they crumble away.
Ray Kelly has been interested in the abandoned buildings that used to be homes dotted around the Island's countryside for over 30 years.
He says his books were not intended to be historically accurate, rather a way of remembering the Tholtans before they disappear.
Mr Kelly says memories will soon be all we have left:
Sailings cancelled due to predicted gales
Have your say on the future of the Island's plantations
Warning for 'disorderly' parents attending schools
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
