Castle Rushen

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)
