Ayre (/ɛər/ AIR; Template:Lang-gv) is one of the six sheadings of the Isle of Man.
It is located in the north of the island (part of the traditional North Side division) and consists of the three historic parishes of Andreas, Bride and (Kirk Christ) Lezayre.
The town of Ramsey, which is administered separately, covers areas of two historic parishes (Lezayre, and Maughold (parish) in the sheading of Garff). It is treated as part of Garff for most purposes, e.g. the coroner.[1]
Other settlements in the sheading include Glen Auldyn and Sulby (both in the parish of Lezayre).
Etymology
The derivation of the word ayre is from Old Norse "eyrr", meaning a shingle beach. It refers to a storm beach forming a narrow spit of shingle or sand cutting across the landward and seaward ends of a shallow bay. This may partly cut off a sheltered stretch of water from the sea to form a shallow freshwater loch.[2] This word is still in use for the particular landform in the Northern Isles of Scotland.
