Talk:Solway Firth

Untitled

'The water itself is generally benign with no notable hazards'

'Mostly harmless' one might say. Some ppl might want to be more cautious. If you want to go for a swim, choose one of the inland lochs. Apart from the strong currents, there are lotsof radiological hazards nearby:

• 'Depleted uranium' shells from Dundrennan Range.
• The Sellafield nuclear complex.
• During the cold war, many submarines would pass through the Irish Sea.

(If I find some nice sources for all this I'll think about mercilessly editing the main article.)

'The Solway Firth Spaceman' section

I found this article whilst researching ufology and thought it interesting to include so I hope that's ok; sources included of course.Gregapage 07:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I've removed it per the undue weight section at WP:NPOV. I would be open to suggestions about how it could be incorporated without dominating the article. --John (talk) 19:46, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Quite right. That section was way over the top. Thanks. - Crosbiesmith (talk) 20:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Geology of The Solway Firth

The Solway is directly over one of the most significant features in British Isles Geology, the Iapetus Suture. http://earthwise.bgs.ac.uk/index.php/Southerness_To_Borron_Point_-_an_excursion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruskin (talk • contribs) 17:00, 10 February 2016 (UTC) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Caledonides_EN.svg/2000px-Caledonides_EN.svg.png — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruskin (talk • contribs) 17:11, 10 February 2016 (UTC) Brighouse Bay outcrops of the Craghidown formation (part of the Hawick group) can be seen. http://earthwise.bgs.ac.uk/index.php/Kirkcudbright_-_an_excursion#2_Brighouse_Bay:_Carghidown_Formation_greywackes_and_structure.
