A man from New South Wales has fulfilled a life-long ambition to see each of the Celtic nations.
John Tregurtha lives in the Australian village of Glenn Innes, where he stages an annual festival, celebrating a different Celtic nation each year.
John and his wife Jean are spending two days in the Isle of Man, the last stop on the list, and have seen the House of Manannan and the Manx Museum.
John is very impressed with the attractions Manx National Heritage has on offer, particularly in relation to his pet subject:
