Lough Neagh (pronounced [lɒx neɪ]; Irish Loch nEathach [lɔx ˈɲahax]) in Northern Ireland. An old Irish story tells how the Lough was formed when Ireland's legendary giant, Fionn mac Cumhail (or "Finn McCool"), scooped up a portion of the land and tossed it at a Scottish rival. He missed, and the chunk of earth landed in the Irish Sea, thus creating the Isle of Man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lough_Neagh
