Pictures and credits
There are no photographs on this site.
Every picture here (the castle side view, the bird’s-eye castle drawing, the promontory fort from above, the four steps of Castle Rushen, the roundhouse and longhouse comparison, the day and night watch, the roundhouse, the logo, the favicon and the share image) is our own original, simplified drawing. They are not reconstructions or scale plans, and they are not traced or copied from any site plan, survey, guidebook, museum image or photograph. Only the labelled parts come from the sourced facts in each caption.
Charts and tables are our own layouts of figures quoted from the sources listed. Useless the eraser is the network’s own mascot. Fonts: Bricolage Grotesque, Newsreader and Kalam (SIL Open Font Licence), served from this site.
