Where Am I? No. 235 - Coast Scene

[Geoff-E]

Perwick Bay Isle of Man? Can't find an image of the bridge that can be seen on google maps but found one of the geography in the background http://www.brinsmead.net.au/mpics/20160807_008.JPG

I think you're right!

The layout of the fields compares well with GoogleMaps http://tinyurl.com/hkq78xd

and here are the rocks with the bridge http://tinyurl.com/zmmfjha

Will this photo do?

At least I got the colour of the rock right!

No, Sc00p found it.  I just found the modern photo.

Just looking at old maps and the 1870 OS map has the area marked with the 'remains of a fort'

There was a building there called Strathallan Castle - look at Google Earth - but this was set to be demolished in the last few years.  Don't know if that has happened or not.  Still looking for further information.

Added: A really good find, Sc00p

Well done Sc00p for solving that and Nell for finding the modern photo. Doesn't that fit with another Where Am I, wasn't that the IOM as well?

[Little Nell]

Found a booklet published in 2001 about Port St Mary (the nearest town) which describes local landmarks/places of interest.

It says that Strathallan Castle was originally built as the Clifton hotel.

 

It was built on the promontory which had previously been occupied by the ancient fort, the whole promontory being called Towl Foggy.

and

Bridge to St. Thomas's Isle.

Caz will be pleased as she thought this one wouldn't be solved.
