The
Rock is a term, used by the Manx locals, in the tiny, Celtic island country the Isle of Man (aka Mann, Isle of Mann, Island of Mannanin or Ellan Vannin) to refer to the island. It is such a small country in the middle of the
Irish Sea that it's fondly referred to as the
rock, in reference to it's size.
It is not a term known well world wide, except to Manx
ex-pats or fans of the annual biker festival and TT Races.
