Castle Rushen
Date made: 1822
Description: “I arrived near Castletown, which I think is by much the prettiest town in the island….I walked slowly through it, passing by the castle, an ancient looking building; a few soldiers were scattered in groups here and there, and gave the place a rather martial appearance.” (Miss Weeton, Journal of a Governess, 28th May 1812, M 08236)
