    43-year-old South African Wayne Soutter has become the first person ever to swim from the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland to the north Antrim coast in Northern Ireland. Others have conquered the North Channel between Scotland and Northern Ireland, but none of them have crossed by the shortest and most treacherous route, from Kintyre.
