Line B is a survey section between Islay and Kintyre on the west coast of Scotland. The line comprises five fixed CTD stations, which were established as part of routine monitoring work on the Scottish continental shelf by Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory (DML). The line was occupied during the 1980s.
