A young American visitor to these shores has been flying the flag for the Isle of Man in her home state of North Carolina.
Fourteen year-old Georgia Wedgwood wrote a glowing article about her holiday here in the Burlington Times News.
She told readers they could find 'peace and paradise' in the Island, which she called 'a must-see destination for those who love history, beautiful scenery and stunning wildlife'.
Georgia says she was compelled to write the piece after visiting her uncle and grandparents here this summer:
'Monster' jailed for 20 years
Sex offender's behaviour was 'disturbing and abhorrent'
DHA seeking 'urgent explanation' after person on 'life licence' moved to IoM
Island's 2026 bonfire season sparks into life this evening
