A building perched on a rocky headland overlooking a popular holiday destination is known locally as the "spooky house".
Craig Y Môr has occupied the dramatic position on the coast of Holy Island in Trearddur Bay, Anglesey for over a hundred years. Construction on the neo-Georgia style property, built by Liverpool architect FG Hicks, began in 1911. The work ceased during WWI with the house being completed around 1919.
It was built for wealthy Englishman William Smellie who was one of the first to build holiday homes around Porth Diana at the time. The house was used as a summer home until the late 1920s when William Smellie was ill and decided to move there permanently with his wife Ethel.
