From Rushen with love!

Tuesday, 9 May 2017 00:00

The Isle of Man’s been given a greeting from Russia with a social media shoutout from its UK embassy.

On Twitter yesterday, the official account of the embassy – in Kensington Palace Gardens in London – posted three shots of Castletown.

Its Tweet included a Manx flag, and said although Castle Rushen isn’t “Russian”, it’s still beautiful.

It's not precisely "Russian" but Castle Rushen in Castletown, Isle of Man ??, is a beautiful sight #diplophoto #фотомир pic.twitter.com/t7Id6CzmvF
