North Channel

United Kingdom

The North Channel (known in Irish and Scottish Gaelic as Sruth na Maoile, and in Scots as The Sheugh, 'the trench') is the strait between north-eastern Ireland and south-western Scotland. The Firth of Clyde merges with the channel, between the southern tip of the Kintyre peninsula and Corsewall Point on the Rhins of Galloway. Part of the Irish Sea, the channel begins north of the Isle of Man and runs north-west into the Atlantic Ocean. Within the channel is Beaufort's Dyke, the deepest part of which is 312 metres (1, 024 ft).
