There's even history behind the peregrine falcon and the raven on the Isle of Man coat of arms. In 1405 Henry IV, King of England granted the Isle of Man to John Stanley, who was given the island for providing him a pair of peregrine falcons, also to be provided to every future English king on his coronation. This formal bestowal of a pair of falcons continued until the coronation of George IV in 1822. As for the raven, it's strongly associated with Norse mythology, and appears in numerous place names on the island
The Bee Gees are from the Isle of Man! Yup, they're not Australian! Maurice, Robin, and Barry were all born on the Isle of Man. Their family later moved to Australia, but they were born in Man. Not all Manx cats are tailless! It’s not entirely clear how the local cats came to be tailless in the first place, although science suggests that it’s some kind of genetic mutation. Some litters are born with a mix of tailless and tailed kittens. Normal-length tails are known as “longies”, tailless are called “rumpies” while others with stumps are called “stumpies”. During a significant excavation on the site of Peel Castle during the 1980s, they made some discoveries dating back over 8000 years, it remains the most significant archaeological dig to happen on the Isle of Man.
