As a "come-over" who loves the lsland, who is Jonny Watterson, and why did he get a road named after him?

 

Rumour has it he was a local exhbitionist. Now every July Thursday lunchtime young males re-enact his last flash when he was savaged by the dog of a 60 year old dog walker who mistook his 'sausage' for a real one....

 

 

Or so they say

Johnny Watterson was supposed to have owned a house in tromode, somewhere near where Beechwood Rise is today. I don't know which house or if it's still there. Perhaps someone else does?

 

Smith's Directory, Braddan, 1883, has:

 

Watterson Mr. John, Upper Tromode

 

(thanks to Frances)
