King Orry came to Mann in 1079, arriving on a starry night.
Those who met him asked him where he had come from.
He pointed to the Milky Way and said
“Yonder is from whence I came, and from along that
star spangled dome is the way that leads to my kingdom”.
Ever since that time,
the Milky Way has been called in Manx Gaelic
Raad Mooar Ree Gorree,
or “The Great Way of King Orry”.
