Gazing up at Towl Foggy, can you sense the ghosts of its past? This unassuming place, once known as the Clifton Hotel, whispers tales of grandeur and decay. Towl Foggy stands on an ancient promontory fort site. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where impressive gardens likely flourished and a small bridge connected it to St Thomas’s Isle. This bridge, a silent witness to the passage of time, still stands. The hotel itself, now Strathallan House, or Castle, has stood unoccupied for years. Imagine the lively atmosphere that once filled these grounds. The laughter of guests, the clinking of glasses, the rustling of elegant dresses through the gardens. Now, only the wind whispers through the empty windows of Towl Foggy, a poignant reminder of its forgotten splendor. The very name, “Towl Foggy,” evokes a sense of mystery. It’s a name that seems to hold secrets, whispering stories of a time long past. Though the hotel stands silent, Towl Foggy remains, a timeless landmark on the Isle of Man.
