The Lord's Forester: A Manx tradition for Oie'll Columb Killey
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2021-06-07

An ancient Manx tradition saw someone ascend the Island's highest mountain each year to blow a horn three times.
Who? When? Why?

These questions are answered in this short film which revisits the Forester's Lodge and re-enacts a practice which took place at Oie'll Columb Killey (8 June) as far back as the 1550s.

This film was produced by Culture Vannin.
It is presented by Chris Callow and features traditional Manx music arranged and performed by Mark Lawrence.
