003 | " A gulf in the extreme north-east of Scotland; a Sea rather than a bay or an estuary; the largest projection, and at the same time one of the most regular, which the ocean maKes into the Scottish coasts. Its limits, as assigned by the modern hydrography of the country, are some-what various, and not very distinctly understood; but on the whole , they distribute into two easily ascertained parts, an exterior and an interior. The exterior firth comprehends all the open Sea south-west of a line between Duncansby-head in Caithness-Shire, and Kinnaird's-head in Aberdeenshire, onward to the entrance of the inner firth between Tarbetness in Ross-shire and Burgh-head in Morayshire" Fullarton's Gazetteer |
