BRADDAN.

The parish of Braddan (or Brandon—St. Brandon was an abbot who died in the Isle of Arran in 1066) includes the southern part of Douglas, and stretches from the centre of the Bay to Port Soderic, and from the Crogga river to Pen-y-Phot and Colden. It contains about 18 square miles. It consists of two nearly detached portions; the northern one of which lies among the highest mountains of the central ridge and includes the peaks of Pen-y-Phot 1772 feet ; Garraghan, 1,520 feet ; and Colden, 1,599 feet. The southern portion is a hilly district, and consists of the lower slopes of the hilly ridges which branch out from the southern mountains. Its chief depressions are the Baldwin valleys in the north, the eastern portion of the central valley in the middle, and the Middle and the Crogga glens in the south. The chief streams are—the Glas, the main branch of the Douglas, rising on Injebreck Hill, and flowing down the West Baldwin Valley—with its tributary, the Awin-ny-Darragh (the river of oaks), and the lower course of the Dhoo ; and, in the south, the Middle river, which falls into the Crogga river. The uplands are barren, and in great part unenclosed mountain land, but there is a good deal of fertile and well cultivated land in the sheltered lowlands. It is an agricultural district, and is chiefly engaged in supplying the Douglas markets. The parts adjacent to the town of Douglas are thickly inhabited, and ornamented with numerous elegant villa residences ; but the remoter parts of the parish are very sparsely inhabited, and in the highlands the inhabitants are a very primitive race. The Crogga Glen and Port Soderick are a favourite resort for summer tourists. Baldwin, in the West Baldwin Valley, is a small agricultural village, beautifully situated. Union Mills is a small manufacturing village, prettily situated on the Dhoo. The woollen and corn mills of Messrs D. Maitland and Co. employ a large number of work-people. Tromode, on the Glas, is a manufacturing village, the inhabitants of which, to the number of about 200, are employed in the sailcloth works of Messrs. W. F. Moore & Son, of Cronkbourne. The population. excluding Douglas, in 1851, was 2,405 ; and in 1871, it was 2,215. The district is a vicarage, and the present incumbent is the Rev. Wm. Drury.
