Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. We hear about Castle Rushen's criminal past - as a house of correction with hard labour - and of its restoration overseen by Armitage Rigby in the early 1900s, as described in William Gell's 1906 poem, 'Mannin Veg Veen : A Poetical Sketch of the Isle of Man'. Our story in Manx is of a young man's dread of his annual visit to his grandmother's cottage - can it really be as bad as he fears?
