    Not presently legal to swim from England to Scotland. 

    Have you not heard of the lockdown due to Covid?

    'Scotland is rather close to the UK????" 'Scotland is a nation that is part of the U.K.

    If you are going to swim from Liverpool to Southerness Point ; Dumfries & Galloway=, Scotland, the distance is some 120 miles. There are many strong tides in the Irish Sea , the sea area, notably the River Mersey, The Calf of Man and the Solway Firth.

    By all means have a go!!! However, you must take a logistic boat with you to feed you and if you have to stop due to cold and/or tides they can get you out of the water.

    1 - you can't travel. Scotland is further than a standard exercise trip permits.

    2 - look at a map.

    You are either a troll or very stupid.

    Look on a map.
