The Dornoch Firth from Meikle Ferry, Sutherland

Dornoch Firth

The Dornoch Firth is a firth on the North Sea coast, nine miles long and forming part of the boundary between Ross-shire to the south, and Sutherland to the north. The head of the firth is reckoned to be at Bonar Bridge, above which the waterway does not end but continues for twelve miles further inland as the Kyle of Sutherland; the tidal estuary of the River Oykel.

The firth cuts deeply into the coast, its mouth between Dornoch to the north and the marshes of Morrich More on the south. (Read more)
