- '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.)

[edit] '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)
