Due to weather conditions, The Manx Museum and House of Manannan are closed today, reopening Wednesday 18 January.
In the meantime, enjoy this fabulous Snow Scene taken from an album of watercolour sketches held in the Manx National Heritage Collections.
“As to circles in the grass, and the impression of small feet among the snow [left by the ‘little people’ or fairies] I cannot deny but I have seen them frequently, and once thought I heard a whistle, as tho in my Ear, when nobody that could make it was near me.” George Waldron, The History and Description of the Isle of Man, 1726.
