Whoa, Max, I bow and scrape before your verve and veracity!

I found this lovely sentence in your Manx link: This patronal fair was latterly held on Whit Monday, near the Brown Cow Inn, in the treen of Knockalaughan, but it must have been anciently held near the parish church, which is situated on the old road from Douglas to Castletown.

What's a patronal fair? What is Whit Monday? The Brown Cow Inn??? Sounds udderly charming! And what on earth is a treen??

I was puzzled at first as to why you put that link there.
Thought for a minute you were sending us to Ashole!
