A companion to this island known as "the calf" is a bird sanctuary immediately to the southwest. Its lords, the Stanleys, claim rights dating to its medieval heritage as a Norse possession that was sold to the kings of Scotland in 1266. Its Gaelic language, distinct in spelling from the Irish and Scottish variants, died out in the 1970s, but the flag bearing the three-legged triskelion symbol on a red background still flies over the House of Keys and the court of Tynwald, which claims to be the world's oldest continuous parliament. FTP, Douglas is the capital of this British dependency in the Irish Sea, most famous for its tailless cats.
