There is a lovely Cornish fishing village called Mousehole where they conduct Civil Ceremonies for same-sex mice, but I haven't noticed any kilts there!

Nor is [Marazion ... anciently known as Market-Jew] the only town in Cornwall whose name is said to be of Hebraic origin. There is the town of Menheniot, which name, a correspondant to the Jewish Chronicle suggested, is derived from the two Hebrew words, min oniyot, which mean 'from ships'. The current pornunciations of the name of the Cornish town of Mousehole as 'Muzzle' might also be influenced by Hebrew, as 'Muzzle' is the homonym of the Hebrew word meaning 'luck. It might be objected that the apparent Hebrew origins of the names of these towns is due to mere coincidence. It is known, however, that in the ninetheenth century the cryptic Hebrew expression Makom Lamed (= 'L(ondon) place' ) coined by local Jews when referring to London, passed into general Cornish usage.
