OS1/4/12/3 MORAY FIRTH Moray Frith Moray Frith Moray Frith Moray Frith Moray Firth Moray Firth Moray Firth Fullarton's Gazetteer New Statistical Account Old Statistical Account Robertson's Map of Banffshire 1822 Black's Map of Scotland Map in New Stat [Statistical] Account Chamber's Encyclopedia 002 ; 004 "A gulf in the extreme north-east of Scotland; a sea rather than a bay or an estuary. Its limits as assigned by the modern hydrography of the country, are somewhat various and not very distinctly understood; but on the whole, they distribute into two easily ascertained parts, an exterior and an interior. The extreme frith 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 frith between Tarbetness in Ross-shire and Burgh-head in Morayshire. The interior Moray frith, where it opens from the exterior is about 16 miles wide. The interior Moray frith, except in its outer skirts, presents quite a contrast to the exterior frith as to at once the wealth, the abundance, and the variety of its fisheries; and though possessing along its coasts some regular communities of fishermen, affords them such small employment that they generally resort to the fishing grounds north of Tarbetness."
