These flowers are known as Bluebells in Scotland, though the name "Bluebell" usually refers to the wild hyacinth Hyacinthoides non-scripta. There are also many other common names for Harebells, including "Witch's Bells" and "Witch's Thimbles".
The Manx name for hare bells is "Marrane Ferrish", which means "Fairy Thimble". Although bright and colourful, these flowers were once seen as a sign of evil, being associated with fairies and witches.
