	Isle of Man - Factfile - Introduction
		The Isle of Man is located in the middle of the Irish Sea, 83 miles from Liverpool and 90 miles from Belfast and is approximately 221 miles or 572 kilometres square, being 32.5 miles (50 kilometres) long from north to south and 13.5 miles (20 kilometres) wide from east to west.
		When introducing the Isle of Man, it is very tempting to wax lyrical about its many charms and brush over the not-so-attractive bits but to really live here is to experience an often contradictory combination of the very beautiful and the very ordinary, the sophisticated and the old-fashioned, the progressive and the traditional.
		The National Anthem was written, in English, to an adapted Manx tune by W.H.Gill and dedicated to the Lieutenant-Governor's wife Lady Raglan in 1907.
