Clyne
Clyne is a parish on the east coast of Sutherland. The origin of the name of this parish comes from the Gaelic word Cluain, meaning a meadow. It is bounded on the south-west by the parish of Golspie; on the west by Rogart; on the north-east by Kildonan; on the north by Farr; on the east by Loth, and on the south-east by the North Sea. It contains the village of Brora and the hamlets of Clynelish, Doll, Gordonbush and West Clyne. The population in 2011 was 1,747.
The River Brora flows south-eastwards through the parish down Strath Brora, into Loch Brora and eventually the sea at Brora. The A9 trunk road and railway also pass through Brora, where there is a railway station.
