about Isle Of Man
The Isle of Man (in Manx, Ellan Vannin) is an island in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland off the coast of Western Europe.
It is a United Kingdom crown dependency (and therefore not part of the United Kingdom itself); the UK is responsible for defence and foreign affairs.
The island has its own government (headed by a Chief Minister) and parliament - "Tynwald" (consisting of the democratically-elected "House of Keys" and the nominated "Legislative Council".) The Isle of Man is not a full member of the European Union, but an associate member.
Terrain - A plain in the far north, with hills in north and south bisected by central valley. One small islet, the Calf of Man, lies to the southwest, and is a bird sanctuary. The highest point is Snaefell, at 621 meters.
History - The Isle of Man was part of the Norwegian Kingdom of the Hebrides until the 13th century when it was ceded to Scotland. The Duke of Atholl sold the sovereignty of the isle to the British crown in 1765, henceforth the British monarch has also held the title "Lord of Mann". Current concerns include reviving the almost extinct Manx Celtic language.
