Beauly Firth

Beauly Firth

The Beauly Firth is a firth in northern Scotland. It is effectively a continuation of the Moray Firth westward, and is bounded at one end by Beauly and at the other by Inverness (North Kessock and South Kessock).

The Beauly Firth has several names in Scottish Gaelic including "Linne Fharair", "Poll an Ròid" and "Caolas Uisge a' Mhanachainn" - the latter being a more literal version of the English.
