Bradda Head, Port Erin
Date made: 3 October 1857
Artist: Staples, S.
Description: "This magnificent headland – a stupendous precipice – reminded me at first sight of the sea-girt rock of Ailsa Craig, on the coast of Galloway, and the resemblance is rendered more perfect by the legions of sea-birds that continually swarm upon its brow." (Sir George Head, A Home Tour through Various Parts of the United Kingdom, 1837, M 02445
