I was wondering haw many British people visited or have any information concerning the Isle of Man. I was surprised to find that same of them never heard about it or don’t really know where is it situated. Despite his unpopularity in London tribe , I succeed to collect same interesting stories about capital punishment, lower taxes, abortion low and movies productions. I couldn’t verify all of them, but maybe this fact can provides the charm of a legend. When I thought finding a subject that can steel my classmates’ attention, another impediment dissipates my entire enthusiast: how can I write about these little stories with no connection between them? So I decide to tell you another story using the information I could get by people sayings and the cyber universe: Internet.
Long time ago, the giant Manannán Mac Lír took a huge rock on the Northern Ireland and drop it into the sea. The wind and the water carved the rock and gave it life. People that have been living there are called Manx and their land, Isle of Man. Along of their history they build on the steep wooded valleys, homes, farming villages and cities. Some testimonies of their sweat are the Casteltown and medieval castles (Castle Rushen), the Corrins Tower (1806), The Lady Isabella (1800), the Cregneash Village, the ruins of the Peel Castle (1392), and the Tower of Refuge (1832).

The Manx had created their own flag represented by tree legs in red background. ('What has three legs and flies? Manx trousers’) and they have been living in a close-knit community. A brutal punishment by hanging expected the people who betrayed their society. In 1872, the last hanged man was called John Kewish. The Queen Victoria was not happy to be involved in those criminal punishments and she asked the abolishment, but the Manx low didn’t change until 1993. A legend say that a "woman in black" hanged for murdering his children is hunting in the Castle Rushen of Casteltown.
Time passed and their society changed faster then their low. Until today the abortion is not allow in the Isle of Man. Sometime, a close-knit community forgotten by the rest of the world, can look like a prison for their members. A woman, who decides by her self she’s not prepared to be a parent, has no choice.

But each tribe has his imperfection. The Isle of Man, still stay an enchanting island with deep waters, high sandy headlands, the rarest wetland wildlife and the Manx found a way to attract the young of the other countries. In our days, this land is associated with motorcycle race, the TT (Tourist Trophy), haven taxes and the movies industry. His stunning views appeared in more than 80 films and TV dramas (Trauma, Cinderella, The dark, Lassie, Finley the fire Engine, The Cotage …
