Castle Rushen

Culture Vannin in collaboration with the Isle of Man Dept. of Education produced a series of videos specifically designed to be used in Island schools focussing on Manx History and Isle of Man Geology that would fit within the National Curriculum. Produced by Charles Guard, they are now available online and a valuable resource to all parents currently home-schooling.

Here is the documentary: The Story of Castle Rushen hosted by Charles Guard. With further details below:
