More about this scene

Sulby not only gives its name to the island's longest river but also to (probably) its tallest inhabitant. Arthur Caley, the eleventh of twelve children and known as the Sulby Giant, was 7 ft 6 ins tall, and weighed in at 44 stone. Arthur's height landed him a job with Barnum & Bailey's circus.
