Historic estate and coastal district on the southern side of Ramsey Bay.

Robertson’s survey of the principal estates of Maughold noted that Lewaigue had formerly been the chief estate in the parish, but by the end of the eighteenth century had been divided into several portions.

The shore was also considered as a possible solution to Ramsey’s poor harbour. Robertson argued that an excellent harbour could be made at Port Lewaigue by carrying a quay from the land to the Carrick, or rock, in the corner of the bay. He estimated the complete work at about £5,000 and suggested that shipowners using both channels might subscribe if government took the lead.

Lewaigue later became associated with the Christian family and with a substantial body of supernatural tradition. W. Walter Gill recorded stories of a White Lady seen on Lewaigue Bridge and around the farm. In one account she entered the house and walked upstairs in front of a woman who was so frightened that she left Lewaigue and moved to Creg-ny-Mult.

Gill connected the apparition with Christian Lewaigue. Another story placed a supernatural encounter at Dreem-y-Jeeskaig, where an evil spirit was said to have resisted several attempts to lay it until Christian Lewaigue was called. After a second encounter the spirit was not heard again, although Gill’s informants said Christian was never the same afterwards.

By 1929 proposals for expanding Ramsey’s water district included Lewaigue.
