| - Ramsey Hairpin (in Manx: Ballacowle – Cowle's farm)is a point on the Snaefell Mountain Course used for the Isle of Man TT races on the Snaefell Mountain Road, designated as A18, in the parish of Maughold in the Isle of Man. It is situated between the 24th and 25th Milestone road-side markers used for the races on the 37+ mile circuitous-course, measured from the startline at the TT Grandstand. The A18 Snaefell Mountain Road – linking the towns of Ramsey and Douglas – was developed in the mid-nineteenth century from a number of pre-existing tracks and bridle paths. As this section of road was purpose-built from Whitegates, in the Ramsey outskirts, to the Gooseneck at the start of the Snaefell mountain slopes, it reflects typical highway and railway construction practices of the time, including establishing a purpose-built hairpin turn at Ballacowle Glen on the outskirts of Ramsey. The Ballacowle Glen, later renamed as Elfin Glen to attract tourists, was purchased by the Isle of Man Forestry, Lands and Mines Board in 1963 along with the nearby Lhergy Frissel and Claughbane Woods. The combined glens, including a disused slate quarry, cover an area of 64 acres (260,000 m2) on steep mountain-side slopes with many different species of deciduous and coniferous trees. The Ramsey Hairpin was part of the Highland Course and the Four Inch Course used for the Gordon Bennett Trial and Tourist Trophy car races held between 1904 and 1922, and is part of the Snaefell Mountain Course used since 1911 for the TT and 1923 for the Manx Grand Prix races.

- Ramsey Hairpin (vroeger Manx-Gaelisch: "Ballacowle", Cowle's boerderij) is een haarspeldbocht aan de zuidkant van de stad Ramsey op het eiland Man. Stella Maris (Sterre der Zee) is een flauwe rechterbocht iets ten noorden van de Hairpin. De A18 werd in het midden van de 19e eeuw ontwikkeld op een aantal bestaande paden en sporen. Tussen Whitegates en de Gooseneck werd de weg op typisch 19e-eeuwse wijze aangelegd met een haarspeldbocht bij Ballacowle Glen. Ballacowle Glen (later hernoemd tot Elfin Glen) werd in 1963 aangekocht door de Isle of Man Forestry, Lands and Mines Board met de bedoeling toeristen te trekken naar de Lhergy Frissel and Claughbane bossen.
