The fairies’ saddle

Waldron described a stone on the Isle of Man called the fairies’ saddle, from its shape, which seemed to lie loose on the edge of a small rock. The Manx people told him the fairies used it every night, though none could say what kind of horses they rode. They held that the first inhabitants of the island were fairies, whom they called the good people, and who still lived in the wilds, forests and mountains, shunning towns for their wickedness.
