Moray Firth

The Moray Firth is a roughly triangular inlet of the North Sea, north and east of Inverness. It is the largest firth in Scotland, stretching from Duncansby Head in the north, to Fraserburgh in the east, to the Beauly Firth and Inverness in the west. It has more than 800 kilometres (about 500 miles) of coastline, much of which is cliffs.

The Moray Firth is effectively two firths, the Inner Moray Firth, which was traditionally known as the Firth of Inverness, and the Outer Moray Firth which is more open North Sea water. The name "Firth of Inverness" is rarely found on modern maps, but extended from the Beauly Firth in the west, to Chanonry Point in the east.
