    Wonderful video. The beautiful island where I lived in Castletown in the early to mid 1950s. It is on my bucket list to visit again for the first time since 1958. I weep at the very thought of returning.

      @@johnbinnie5697 Sorry to be so long to reply. I have only just revisited this page. My family originates from Epsom in Surrey, but my paternal grandparents lived in North London, my grandmother having been born and raised in Birmingham having the surname Hanks. The name is also known in West Sussex and Portsmouth areas. There is also a place called OckendOn in Essex. Ockendens also emigrated to Canada, in the early part of the 20th century, and to Australia and New Zealand.

    Thank you for posting this little gem. Used to visit the island with my parents every easter, hated to ferry crossing but loved the whole, magical place. Always wanted to retire in a wee cottage by the sea with a little car to explore the place again.Bet it hasn't changed since my last visit in 1962. Maybe in my next life.....

    Born in Birmingham, UK; third-generation Manx descendant. I now live in Canada but I would willingly leave to live in the land of my grandfather Crellin. I can see why he pined for his homeland after leaving for England. A Celtic jewel in the Irish Sea, with all the scenery and fish a man could want. Love the musical score too; haunting.

      The first two minutes are Charles Guard's own composition, but at c.2 minutes it merges into Marlene Hendy's 'The Secret Island'. This is a song from her album 'Fy Yerrey' with Dilys Sowrey (and a beautiful song it is too!)

      As to Kieran Tierney, he is Manx-born, but he moved to Scotland at 10 months, which has meant that he's qualified to play for Scotland.

    Groudle Glen will live in my heart as long as it continues to beat. But, my question, and this may be a false memory. Around 1968/9, someone told me about a place on the island that had been painted by a 'famous artist', it was called, if memory serves, The Seven Fields of Green' and I have the faintest of memories that I actually stood where the scene was painted. I've tried to 'google it' but to no avail, can anyone enlighten me?
