Calf Sound
Calf Sound (Manx: Yn Cheyllys) is a body of water which separates the Calf of Man island from the mainland of the Isle of Man.[1] The sound - technically a strait - is about 700 yards in width, and contains the small islet of Kitterland, which is home to a large colony of seals.[1]
The name 'calf' comes from the Old Norse word 'kalfr', which means a small island close to a larger one.[2]
