I'm not Manx, but at the age of 63 and a visitor to the Island hundreds of times since the first, just after my 6th birthday, I am determined that my eternal resting place shall be the most beautiful place on earth. Mona's Isle

[shazzeebabe]

This makes me homesick.....I was born in Peel and raised in Union Mills .....miss the island so much and thank you for this beautiful video xxx

[dambusters11]

Who's composition/arrangement is this?

[BooHoo1912]

I live there and everyone should come here for a holiday

[BadGirlOfAutism]

I'd forgotten how lovely the Isle of Man really is. Beautiful video!

[MACHAWK123]

ghiyt, yes I know it's famous for it's biking but that's the point - it's Ellan Vannin not bikes in the Isle of Man, don't get me wrong I do like the video but I'd like to see a bit of Castletown, Langness, Laxey, Maughold, Ramsey, Port St Mary, Sulby Res, Point of Ayre etc etc..... and let's face it if you can't get at least one photo of the the most photogenic woman on the island (Lady Is') - there's a missed opportunity there!

[MACHAWK123]

Too much biking to showcase one UK's nearest neighbours delights.

[ghiyt]

@MACHAWK123 the place is famous for TT ,hence so much of biking

[ghiyt]

@ghiyt yes i approve of what you said MACHAWK 123

[sturdle]

wish we could afford to live there.......

[krammerk1]

[manxy007]

Fastyr mie.

I liked the mix of music and video with my only complaint being that it wasn't long enough :)

For those of you who haven't been there, then it's worth a visit as it's 33 miles by 13 miles area is covered in beautiful scenery. The unofficial National anthem 'Ellan Vannin' is sung by our own island born Bee Gees. Slaynt vie

I'd love to learn some more Manx. I know 2 or 3 things. Jay voish cloan ny moyrn. I hope I spelled it right. Got any other good phrases? Thanks!

[merseyside]

always liked the isle of man,went on holiday as a youngster there, my granmothers family originated from the isle of man,corlett her maiden name i believe its a manx name, good video

[RomneyGack]

A good many names that begin w/ C, Q and sometimes G are Manx. It come's from dropping the MA from "mac" in Gaelic surnames.

[QueenofMann]

Very nice.

[ghiyt]

thank you

[hizzyrider]

Great video, well done ghiyt! Makes me want to get back there tomorrow. The soundtrack compliments the pictures and video excellently.

Ellan Vannin!

[amblesideannie]

I was born on the IOM and anything to do with the IOM just makes me VERY homesick! So I watch this. It is so lovely....

[amblesideannie]

Loved it!

[rosefazak]

Excellent video. Lovely music. Captured exactly what the Isle of Man is about. In fact i feel really homesick now.
