Cantyre, (Ceann-an-tir, the "head of the land"), a long peninsula in the S. of Argyllshire, constituting one of the five principal natural divisions of that county. It is about 40 miles in length, with an average breadth of from 6 to 7, and is connected with the district of Knapdale by the narrow isthmus of Tarbert. Kilbrannan Sound separates it on the E. from Arran. Its south-western extremity, the Mull (Maoil, a bluff) of Kintyre, is about 10 miles from the Irish coast. Here, on the rocks called the Merchants, is a lighthouse 297 feet above the sea level, with a fixed light visible at 22 miles. The surface of this district is for the most part rugged and hilly, but there is a fair proportion of good arable land. The principal harbours on the coast are those of Campbeltown, and Tarbert East and West. Of antiquities in the district, Skipness Castle is the most notable.

Kiöge, a small town of Denmark, on a bay of the same name, in the island of Zealand, 24 miles S.W. of Copenhagen. In the roadstead of Kiöge, in 1676, a complete victory was gained over the Swedes by the combined fleets of Denmark and Holland.

Kiölen, the northern portion of the great Scandinavian mountain system, commencing to the N. of Trondhjem, and extending to the North Cape. It is about twice as long as the southern range, the Norriska Fiellen, but much narrower and lower, and diminishes in elevation towards the N. The culminating point is Sulitelma, near Lat. 67°, which is above 6000 feet high. See Norway.
