Not illustrated. 1861 Excerpt: ... a finely carved cross without inscription, but bearing four singular dragon-shaped animals with knotted tails. There are several very delightful walks in the neighbourhood of Kirk Michael, both up into the mountain-range and down towards the sea. The two glens Balleira and Tronk are similar in character to Glen Wyllin, previously described.

Walking in this avenue after evening prayers, in his 93rd year, on a damp day at the close of winter, he caught the cold which terminated in his death.
